Merging Dates into a Multi-Page InDesign Planner Template | Kendra Bork



As requested: here is the video where I show you how to perform a merge in InDesign to import dates (and other information) from an Excel file. Please note that in this video I assume you have a working knowledge of both InDesign and Excel and don’t go in depth into how to use either. (Unfortunately, that would be a really, really long video and I would rather make sure you get the information that I had to figure out on my own.)

If you would like more information on creating a basic planner template in InDesign, Maryanne Moll has a video on her channel explaining how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHaUvSYpW1E&t=1449s
