    Hi @HELALmhu ,

    my recommendation for the source data file is TEXT with UTF16 encoding.

    Make a little sample of your source data file available so that we can test something.

    Also state the font you like to use. Plus version of InDesign and operating system.

     

    Thanks,

      Are you using the ME version of InDesign?
