Hello!
I'm trying to create a catalogue of items that are on a sheets document into a slides document, I have it all set up correctly based on the multiple outputs setting, but when i try to use the single output setting its only returning the first row of data but with the total number of rows in the data set,  so with the 54 rows of data i have i get 54 slides but the information is only for the 1st row of data.

Thanks in advance

Grayson

Hi All,

I'm experiencing the same problem - multiple output mode works as expected, single output mode, only reuses the data from the first data row (second row) for each of the rows.

I just created a small test and it worked for me and the merge tags were updated per each row.

I tested with slides.  Can someone share with me a sample that doesn't; work.  It should not have sensitive data.

Hi Joe, 

Email sent.  I've shared the following folder with you.  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YLP4qcIs0Pxx6BKGvwp1ghNcCEi31yTS?usp=drive_link.  It contains an example that's exhibiting problems updating some of the template fields (some are just the first row, others update as expected), when the output is set to single output mode.

Regards, Paul

Paul,

You have found an undocumented bug.  Autocrat doesn't process merge tags in a header or footer.

The solution is to remove the header and footer.
Adjust the top and bottom margins 
Put the header and footer into the document.

You should get the same or similar results.  

I ran an example using a new template.

Good luck with your raffle.

Paul,

You might find that Autocrat starts a new page occasionally.  You should be able to live with that.

Hi Joe, 

That make sense.  Thank you for the support.
