Tagged: Data Merge, distribution, text frames
Hi,
I am working on designing a project sheet layout. I have 8 text frames and I am using data merge to populate data in them since there is 80 of them. Text sizes varies. I want to keep the first text frame and the last one in a fixed place and keep the gap in between the text frames equal.
Any help is greatly appreciated! :)
Could you explain how text frames are arranged and ordered? Do you have all text frames already placed and want them to be filled or do you want them to be generated?
Hi Pat! Thanks for the reply. Text frames are stacked on top of each other, 0.5 inch apart, on the Master page, but when the document gets merged, the spacing between the text frames are not equal anymore since each text frame height varies. I don’t care if the gap between text frames vary, I only need them to be equal while the first text frame and the last ones remains in their spot.
Could you inline the eight text frames inside a single full-height text frame that’s set to vertically justify? You can do some pretty magical stuff with anchored objects.
