Hello everyone!

 

This is my question: what is the easiest way to realize an agenda/diary with a mirror layout (see attachment) using Data Merge?

I try several methods but it works only with a central layout.

 

Thanks a lot

Silvia

Create a facing pages document. 

Do layout work on parent/master pages.

I would use the page number for the day number and the section marker for the month.

 

In the document, add 365 pages plus whatever pages you want. (You may want another parent page for non-entry pages.)

At each month change, go to the numbering and section options.

Change the month and start the days over at 1.
