Hello everyone,
I am having trouble doing some advance data merge with InDesign CS3.
Hope someone can help me, the dead line is just round the corner :-(
I have a huge list of names and addresses as CSV. Some of them have physical addresses and some of them have P.O. Boxes.
So I have some columns that are empty, depending on which information is supplied by my customers.
When I start a data merge I get empty lines because I need to set up all variables, but not all are populated throughout the CSV.
I need to print the whole job in one go because of rebates on post code order.
Hope you understand what I mean.
Any idea on how to truncate complete lines within the address field?
If Indesign CS3 doesn't give me that kind of control, what options would I have instead? Could I export the CSV in a way that I get the full address blocks and truncate empty lines in doing so?
Any idea is highly appreciated!
Thanks
