    Hello,

    I would like to load more than one image in my layout.

    I see that the placeholder tag needs to be “<<image>>”.

    Is it possible to load multiple images?

    I tried <<image-two>> but it won’t load the image just the image path.

    Your support is always appreciated!

    Hi Steve,

    If you add another placeholder like “<<image2>>” (or “<<image-two>>” – whatever you like) make sure:

    1. The placeholder in InDesign is in a separate frame and there is NOTHING else in it except the text “<<image2>>”
    2. You have a column in your datasource called “image2” (similar to what you have in your layout)
    3. Make sure that the placeholder in MyDataMerge is set to “Replace with image” instead of “Replace with text”
    4. If you don’t want to make manual adjustments (like point 3 in this list) and use Autolink instead make sure that the placeholder in InDesign contains an @ symbol e.g. “<<@image2>>”  – this makes MyDataMerges Autolink recognize it as image automatically. The @ symbol is only needed in InDesign. Data source columns stays “image2”
