The template that I set up a few years ago has always worked, and still works in CC. We do class certificates with data merge, and pull in client logos and backgrounds. Has anyone experienced trouble with relative file paths since updating from CC to CC 2014? You can call me Mig if you like (most do). P.S., I couldn't remember my current log-in, but did remember a really old one, so I just wanted to clear up that I'm really Michael Gianino and not some other poster. Also, I like to keep a clean layout, and something that doesn't do anything-regardless of how innocuous it is otherwise-is something I'd rather do without. They don't effect the layout or printing, but sometimes if you click in the text and select via shift and the arrow key (counting the characters as you go), you might select one of these placeholders instead of the character you really wanted, and that will throw you off. I still don't know how to delete the placeholders that are generated by DataMerge when encountering an empty field. Maybe anyone else trying should give Copy Platform Style Path a try and see if it works for you. ![]() Either way, the trouble I was having that inspired me to start this thread is solved for me. I'm not sure why I either didn't try it before, or maybe I did, but made a mistake. I changed from using Links Manager>Copy Info>Copy Full Path to Links Manager>Copy Info>Copy Platform Style Path, and was able to gather images from my local drive, a network drive, and an external USB drive without any trouble. ![]() For reasons unrelated to how effective DataMerge is or is not, I decided that it wouldn't really work for the project I was doing, so I haven't been experimenting with it for a while, but I got some free time tonight and thought I'd update you all.
