Hi Aman,

it's doable—sort of—but requires an extra step after creating the merged document.

1. Let's start with a document where the page is mirrored horizontally. The page, not the contents. So uncheck that contents will move with the page. You do that with the Page Tool and with the Transformation menu. From my German InDesign that is "Horizontal spiegeln" with the Page Tool:

2. Next step would be to do the merge. I used a small source text file with only one column of entries called "Value" and with 32 records, just numbers that count from 1 to 32:

Result was this:

What's left to do?

3. Mirror the result pages horizontally without moving the contents:

But that also means, you have to do it for every result page:

InDesign CS6 and above.

Uwe
