      Hi All,

      I wondered if anyone has any ideas how I can easily handle the following ID situation…

      I often work on a journal which contains sponsored listings. These are listed alphabetically, and appear vertically stacked with 4 to a page in the journal. The sales team keep selling as late as they can, so we frequently get late insertions. Problem is, if I’ve got 40 ads, I’m OK if we get insertions which are lower down the articles – I’m happy add as many ‘xyz’ listings as you like ;o) – it takes quite a lot of time to reflow the boxes if we get new insertions higher up the list which means reflow headaches. Is there an easy way to do this?

      My initial thoughts would be to link the content frames, but in order to make this work with images (each ad is a PDF or JPEG), could that work?

      My other thought would be to use data merge somehow, using 000 prefix numbering which is initially set up to increase in jumps of 10, so that they would be numbered 010, 020, 030, and a new late listing could be 015 for example. Then re-run a datamerge…

      Is there a better way to do this?

      Many thanks
