You can do some cool stuff with data merge if you combine it with excel and scripts. I used it to create a few thousand product cards swapping out the images and text for them all with data merge, very powerful.

Yeah data merge is a really cool element within InDesign.

hey satnam. these tips are unbelievable, really good. a quick question, is it possible for us to adjust the spacing of rectangles in tip no one?

[@SatnamB]

Hey Aebel, Sure. Use the Up or Down arrow keys to create or delete rows, respectively; Use the Left or Right arrow keys to delete or create columns. Use the Command/Ctrl key along with the arrow keys to adjust spacing between rows or columns. You can use the Shift key to constrain the shapes’ proportions (to squares or perfect circles). Lastly when creating text frames, you’ll end up with threaded frames. Hope that helps!

[@SatnamB]

Try this: Select the Pages panel. Select the pages you want to rotate. Click the Options button on the panel, point to Page Attributes, point to Rotate Spread View, and then click 90° CW, 90° CCW, or 180° If you want to mirror them, group everything on your page and flip horizontally.

I’m writing a graphic memoir of how I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and it worked. I've created 8 chapters so far, but searching is difficult. I’m wondering if you know how to find a word in an entire book instead of just a chapter? Thanks

[@SatnamB]

Hey, you can find words using the "find/change" tool in Edit. You can set it to find a specific word and search the entire document. The way it searches depends on how you have set up your document. Alternatively if that doesn't work, look into "Edit with story editor" or GREP.

tNice tutorialngs work. I do read so stuff in the manual but there is a lot, or I try to find tNice tutorialngs on youtube. So more help will be appreciated.

[@jamesoldman3021]

Hope you can help. For some unknown reason to me InDesign has decided when I open a new document that the rectangular, shape and even the text boxes open with a inset. I would say it is 2mm. In the text box it shows as a 0 inset but it is still there. This is making working extremely difficult as I have to eyeball the inset to get them to fit into the columns. Got any idea how I can get rid of this? On previous files this is not there.

[@SatnamB]

When you open InDesign, before you open a document, go to window>workspace and change it to essentials to hide the home menu. Any changes you make here will be implemented on all documents going forward. See if you can change your settings here to reverse the indentation. Have you tried using a different font to see if the font has been corrupted? The alternative is to clear your preferences. However you will lose any custom set ups like short cuts, user dictionaries and value changes.
