    Hello,

    I need to produce a directory, Yellow Pages style, and I thought I could automate it using InDesign data merge. The problem is I can't find a way to get the result on facing pages, but only on single pages.

    It is the first time I try to use this feature, so I wonder if I miss something by lack of experience or the data merge utility is not flexible enough for what I need? Yet to produce a directory from a database (well, actually a .txt file) seems a typical application for it…

    Any advice will be most appreciated, thank you in advance.
