      I’m trying to merge a .CSV file having <<name>> <<body>> and <<footer>> written in different cells on the first row of my sheet.
      When I import the file into InDesign, it only offer me <<name; body; footer>> as a label. What am I doing wrong?

      It looks like ; isn’t set as the seperator. Try opening the CSV and check the box “Show Import Options”. Then make sure ‘semicolon’ is selected as the delimiter. I hope that’ll work!

      Just use tab separated .txt files instead of CSV.
      You’ll save yourself many headaches ^^
