Hi All,
It seems many people have trouble with slow data merging and I am one of them.
I'm looking to create envelopes, with three fields with 92 envelopes.
I have 92 pages, all with the envelope design on Master A with the text box and data merged into the master page.
When I hit create, it creates 8000 pages and crashes! What am i doing wrong?
92 * 92 = 8464 🙂
You want to create 92 enveloppes right ?
So you need to set up a document with an unique page.
When you hit create, Indesign will generate a new document with 92 pages.

There wouldn't be a requirement to put the data merge data on the master page.
Put it on the page, and only repeating elements like logos/return address that are static to be included on the master page.
Anything with variable data can be put on page 1.
Then as above, create a merged document.

I agree
Although there are a few advantages inserting data fields placeholders in the Master page.
