![]() ![]() If you want an image at the background, place it at the bottom of the Layers list. Once every text and image fields have been placed and assigned, you will notice that they will have a number on the right side of the Data Merge window. That means how many times that field name is being used (all of them should have at least a 1). You can place the same name field in multiple locations if you want. You should see all of the data from the first entry (second row of your spreadsheet) in the template. You can keep tweaking things in the Preview mode!

Searching for a word like “Mastery” to make them all bold might be bad, since it would also change words found on the skill name or type when you only want to affect the description. It is also troublesome to search each word you want to make bold, and their plurals. So I decided to add a code, on the spreadsheet, before each word I want to make bold: (without a space between the code and the word). ![]() ![]() With the Search function you can find any word that starts with and make that word bold, then you remove the code with another search. You can create a Query and save it (circled in red) for future uses.Įntering (?i)(\)\S in the Find what field will make the query find any words with the code. ![]()
