  Hi InDesign Secrets, please, can I request advice for a way to autoflow and autosize images through a multipage document, this is usually a requirement for several different reasons from Name Cards to Data Merge.
  
  Thank you,
  Christian

  Hi Christian. Data Merge is limited in what it can do, but it can definitely import a lot of images. There are some references here:

  Hi David, thank you for the help, it’s much appreciated. The object style option should allow to auto fit when data merge is run too.
  
  Thanks again,
  Christian

  There’s a new feature in InDesign 2020 that allows data merge to honor Frame Fitting Options.

  Hi David, thank you for the additional information. Will temporarily launch InDesign 2020 now and try this.
  
  By the way, I’ve had email correspondence with the majority of amazing DTP legends in the past and now finally from yourself. Your MacWorld articles on the other layout software were the reason I paid for the subscription.
  
  Thank again,
  Christian
