Data merge should include a "Next Record" feature
Data merge should include a "Next Record" feature, like Word has. I want to merge data into InDesign, but I don't want to duplicate text boxes or pages. I just want to put the placeholders wherever they need to go (like in a table) and merge the data without having a text box for every record.

YES! Please... I don't understand why this isn't already a feature. It would make my life SO much easier! I create a form for all of our branches to submit all sorts of data for job references. And then try to implement these within pages of an InDesign annual report. I need a way to set "next record" and I need it YESTERDAY!!!!
I'm a huge advocate of Adobe. I love InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator... but, this is ridiculous! With all of the innovations over the years, why are thngs such as these overlooked?!?

I just tried Data Merge for the first time today, trying to optimize the way my company updates its price lists. Man I got dissapointed finding out this feature wasn't implemented allready, and that plug-ins costs several thousand dollars!
