    Great. I think I may have stumbled across this one before. I’ll check it out though. Thanks!

    Sweet. Thank you for that, David! It’s helpful to have a whole article on the subject to understand it better.

    Justin,
    Is there any way you could email me a graphic or example of how to do the sequence numbering for the CSV file to communicate with InDesign?
    I’m sorry to ask so much but, I’m just struggling to visualize and figure it out. My work email is: administrator@jpbc.org

    Thanks,
    Nate

    Ok, so I would set the sequence numbers in my data merge and then have InDesign recognize that and put the entries in order. I’ll probably just try to export our membership data to a CSV file and edit it in google sheets.

    Thanks for your help, Justin! I’ll give this all a try.

    Ok, good to know!
    What do you mean when you say you “set sequence numbers for each entry”?

    We probably won’t purchase a software in order to do the data merge. So I assume going the ole excel or google sheets route is the best way to create a CSV file for InDesign? What do you think? (I’m pretty amateur when it comes to data merge)

    Thank you so much, Justin! This was a huge help. I wondered if something like what you described was the solution.
    I’m sorry I couldn’t respond earlier. I think someone spammed the forum so they shut down replies for a little while.

    Related question:
    I’ve created the directory structure and implemented your instructions. Did you use data merge to put in your members’ information, or did you enter all of their information manually? I’m trying to figure out what might work best for me. We have about 140 members.
