Hello, I am having issues with using InDesign's Data Merge function for photos. This is not my first time using this feature. I know the process can be tedious & technical, but it seems that something new has gone wrong.
SYSTEM INFO:
OS: Big Sur (v 11.2.1)
Program: Indesign CC
Feature: Data Merge
ISSUE:
When merging, I am getting an error message for my entire database of photos Not a single image will preview or merge. I have confirmed the following items:
- All File Paths are formatted correctly (OS specific, Case Sensitive, & Accurate to the folder location)
- Picture Columns are labeled @IMAGE and columns are formatted for Text
- It seems like excel keeps changing the column formats back to General (maybe that is the issue?)
To troubleshooting I have tried:
- Relabeling Picture Columns as'@Image
- It seems like excel keeps changing the column formats back to General (maybe that is the issue?)
- I have tried saving the file as a CSV and TXT
- I have tried saving the excel file to my computer vs the network
Nothing has worked! Please Help!
