I'm using data merge to fill in data of a master template. I have a group of three placeholders: a circle (colors vary), a number on top of it, and variable-length text (a name) to the right. As placeholders, everything works correctly - but I need these elements centered horizontally as a group.

Because data merge is regenerated every time I update the document, I don't want to manually center these every time. Is there a way I can group them and automate centering?

Here's what it currently produces:

Sure, just make the icon group a anchored object that's part of your text. Then apply center to the paragraph where the text/anchor is.

If your icon is not anchored

just group circle and text,
cut said group,
enter type tool in text and paste.
