Clear, straight to the point - thanks so much!
thank you, glad the merge video proved of interest
Hi, I have a question, after i create the data merge layout, when i want to add text frame, the layout grid dissapear. The data merge layout still there and working, it's just that the layout is missing when i select other than data merge layout layer. It's making hard to edit. How to make it always show like in your video?
Have to say, I don't use Affinity Publisher as much as I should so probably not the best person to answer why some things happen when a text frame is added etc, perhaps check out the affinity publisher forum on their site, certain there are more knowledgeable people there
I can't see the 'data merge manager' under document in my Affinity Publisher 2.
Has it been moved?
It is now in the window menu !
The data merger manager can load xlsx file but cannot load fields in it. Wired. Is it a bug?
no idea, it does sound that way. Perhaps report it to Affinity via their bug reporting system
can one link jpg pictures to the database? for example to make a yearbook layout with kids name under their photo?
I am quite certain it can use jpg images and create things like yearbooks. Perhaps a search for 'Affinity Publisher yearbook creation data merge jpg' ?
yes.. in csv create 1 columm called @img and your content c:\folder\image.png or jpg
to show in Afinnity. use "picture frame rectangle tool" linking the Field "@img"

@@southbridgeforestHOA my pleasure
when i generate it opens a new document but all the fields are blank? any ideas?
Sorry, no idea - that does sound unusual. I must do some more videos on the data merge as I have had many different questions about it over the last few months especially since version 2
i have the same problem
I would suggest the Affinity Publisher forum, there will be experts on that there - certain they will have an answer
Actually I updated to version 2 and it's ok now. Thanks for the tutorial, really helped 👍
