      Hello !

      I have to create 140 pages for a book with more or less 11000 images inside (91 images per page)… So i need a solution to do it quickly.

      So I did “Data Merge Into Inline Anchored Objects So They Flow in a Story” tutorial to import ONLY images. Just a graphic frame without text frame. So only ONE object Then I anchored it into a large text frame. I data based with “create a new fractionned” doc and choose “multiples choices saving”.

      But the flowing data is impossible. I don’t know why..

      Could you please help to find a solution ?
      Many Thanks in advance

      Data Merge cannot merge into a flow/story. But there is a script that can help:

      There is also some new software called MyDataMerge that may be able to help. It is new, so I don’t know if they have even released it yet:

      Hi, think the video is down. We already use MyDataMerge extensively. And this task can be done with it easily if you’re on a Mac
