text range contains existing record(s) placing is not allowed
made a form with questions and answers, all those answers are in csv file. Imported that data and designed a page. Now i want to publish the data in a little book like the page i made. Ik linked the data but what do i need to do next, in order to get the rest of the pages with the rest of the records.
please help me i'm stuck
thnx for your answer, i'm going to work on that. What i'm really looking for is to be able creating a layout with the fieldstag's in it. Taking care of the design and fonts and then an easy way to select records from the data to put it in the layout. I believe this is the way it works with xml in indesign. Now it looks like it is more complicated to get the result i want while having an extra plugin. Or do you think i'm wrong?
Hi Annelies,
Looking at the title of your post it looks like you are trying to place records one at the time to your text frame while your text cursor is already in a record. Placing a record into an existing record is not allowed.
The best way to fill a text frame with multiple records is to use Formatting Rules and a Rule Set. Once the Rule Set is assigned to your text frame you can drop all records in one go on the frame. All records will be placed and the fields of those records are all styled according the Formatting Rules yo have assigned.
For more information, see the Smart Catalog CS4 User Guide, Chapter 10.
