Thank you for responding. I realized the problem was i had multiple pages

Same problem with "multiple records" not available. Tried trashing prefs. Tried creating a new document. Nothing seems to work. I can get a preview in DataMerge but can not merge multiple records

And are you using the multiple records layout tab? Is your text box holding the placeholders small enough to fit on the page multiple times?

Do you have the same problem if you create a new file? If you do, reset your prefs: Reset InDesign Preferences and Other Troubleshooting

If not, just rebuild the template -- in my experience a bad template file rarely is saveable and they are quick to rebuild.
