    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?

    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?

    • @Graphicxtras1
      @Graphicxtras1  Рік тому

      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' ?

      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
