We currently have a project where we have created a catalog template, including setting up the templates InDesign to be ready for a data merge. However, when we go to merge we are running into issues. Including: -Special characters from the product descriptions (trademarks, ampersands, etc) in the CSV are not importing correctly when we run the export from the CSV since. UPDATE: we decided to get rid of all special characters so this isn't an issue. -Commas are causing issues, how do we get the program to not recognize it as comma-separated values and instead as regular text that doesn't cause the data merge to misplace content. (still an issue if we have to get rid of commas we can but we are trying to avoid that. Once we solve the issues we need someone to help with the merging of the data to our InDesign file templates.

Hello, well the problem you seem to be having has an easy fix, the comma one, you just need to save the data sheet as a txt separated via tabulation, the data merge will get the commas this way. i put the lowest price because thats not fair for you guys to have to pay for an simple fix like that. If you want to hire me to look on the indesign template i will be happy tough. Good luck.
