Insert Merge Codes for Resume Text in an Adobe InDesign Merge Template

Use the Proposal Resume merge code to insert resume text into a custom proposal.

This applies only if you are using an Adobe InDesign merge template for a custom proposal section in Vision Custom Proposals. The resume text that is retrieved with the Proposal Resume merge code is the text that you enter in the Resumes grid on the Resumes tab in the Employee Info Center.

To insert a resume text merge code in an Adobe InDesign merge template:

  1. When you create or edit an InDesign merge template in Vision, on the Merge Template form, select Employees in the Info Center Area field. If you need more instruction on how to create a merge template and open the Merge Template form, see the "Create a Vision Merge Template with Adobe InDesign" or "Update an Adobe InDesign Merge Template in Vision" help topic.
  2. On the Merge Code dialog box, select Employees in the Table field.
  3. In the drop-down list in the Field field, select Proposal Resume.
  4. In the InDesign active text frame, place your mouse pointer in the location where you want to insert the Proposal Resume merge code (resume text).
  5. Return to the Merge Code dialog box, and click Insert to insert the resume text merge code into the InDesign active text frame. In the InDesign active text frame, you now see the merge code:

    [Proposal Resume|{BlockText}]

    There is only one merge code (instead of both a beginning and end code). This serves as a placeholder for the resume text that you add in Custom Proposals.

In Vision Custom Proposals, you must add employees and build their resumes on the Employees section tab.
