This is an open user to user forum. You are not communicating (as in "mailing") to a single person. As soon as you enter a message here, it's visible for the entire world. Everyone logged in to the forums can see the little red flag, signifying some reply to your original question. If that "reply" is just
i you,
repeating the question, or demanding an answer, or complaining "it still don't work no", more than a few times, the average reader of these forums will loose interest in you and your problem.

You seem to assume this data merge thing you want is a well known trick, and everyone here has "the correct script". You want in, so "we" should send you the script. That's what I'm reading in your pleas, anyway. Not so.

In your desperation, you seem to forget a few basic steps. First is a general background knowledge of what you're talking about. A script that produces an indesign Lock file!? Oh, come on! Your script doesn't work. What error does it give? "It does not work" is not an error message.

Hi sunilkumarrajup,

Use the DataMerge plug-in. It's on the Automation submenu menu of the Window menu. You don't need a script for this.

Thanks,

Ole
