cs4 data merge

[agent_orange]

Anybody having problems with this? I got burned on a job already because of it. Tried to replicate in cs3 several times and everything works fine. I've gone back to doing all my data merge in cs3.

Problem I'm having is there will be random instances where the placeholder prints rather than the actual cell that it references. So, for example, it shows <<last name>>. 9 times out of ten the correct last name is there when previewed and printed but one of them will still say <<last name>>. No big deal if it's only a few pages but it's a PITA when you have a few hundred.

I'll take the same exact csv file, same layout and put it on cs3 and it works fine. I don't get it. Has this happened to anyone else? Power PC, OSX 10.4.11 is my setup....
