The language used in the data sheet is Bengali, if I open the data sheet, the words are okay, but inside InDesign, the combined letters order is misplaced despite of using the same font!

I have tried csv, text separated with comma, tab. If I type any of these words inside the InDesign manually, the words are perfect, but in data merge preview I am having problem! Tried few solutions from the web but still no luck!

Are you using the ME version of InDesign?

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,
