Header disappears when mail merge

I'm having a really bizarre problem with mail merge on Pages.
When I mail merge, all my fields work, everything else is fine.
Except, on every second page, my header is missing. I just can't see why, and I can't find any solutions anywhere. I can manually put the header back in easily enough, but considering I'm mail merging over 500 letters, I don't want to have to go through 250 of them to paste in and realign the header.
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?
Thanks!!

NS-DS,
Check your Layout Inspector, Section tab. Should look like this:

Signature disappear when i merge the documents

Hi everyone,
I have a problem, a big problem with adobe. When i merge some documents, all the electronic signature disappear. It's umbelivable because PDF Creator can do it.
So does anybody know why the electronic signature disappear.
Just to explain, the electronic signature is at the bottom on the right in the document.
Thanks !
Regards

Any change to a PDF file (except adding a new signature) will invalidate an
existing signature, as it should be.
Imagine you sign a contract and then someone adds a bunch of new pages to
it, with clauses you haven't even read... You would probably not be so
happy if your signature was automatically applicable to those pages as
well, no? Fortunately, with digital signatures it automatically gets
removed when that happens.

Image in header disappears when document is opened with iPad Pages

I'm trying to create company templates for standard files that can be both accessed from my Mac and iPad via iCloud. Howerver, I can't get the iPad version to include the image that was added within the Mac version and saved to iCloud.
Here is what's happening:
1. Make new document with Mac version of Pages
2. Insert an image in the headder (company logo in PDF format but I've also tried EPS & PNG as well)
3. Save documnet to iCloud
4. Open document from iCloud with iPad version of Pages
5. Image disappears (to clarify, the image is shown in the thumbnail view on the iPad but disappears once opened)
If I don't make any changes to the document on the iPad and reoppen it on the Mac the image is still there. However, if I make any changes to the document with the iPad and then open the modified file on the Mac the image remains missing.

I have never heard that inserting an image into a header is a bad thing; can you please explain why you say it's never a good thing to do?
As far as I know, this is a very common method and is the only way that I'm aware of to create a header with a company logo that will repeat on subsequent pages within the document. By making the image a background image, you lose this ability and the image will only show on the first page of the document.
To answer your suggestion, yes, making the image a background image will make it visible on the iPad however this is not the issue, as images within the body of the document do not have the disappearing issue that I'm experiencing with images in the header.
If inserting images in the header is bad thing, do you have another method that you could share that would achieve the same result; that is an image (logo) that will automatically repeat on every subsequent page that is added to a document?

Why is my header/footer missing when I mail merge in Word 2013?

I have just converted from Word 2007 to 2013 and now I am having an issue with my mail merge document. My mail merge document has our company letterhead set up in the header/footer. When I finish the mail merge by selecting 'Edit Individual Documents' using
an Outlook contacts list - the first page is missing the header/footer but all the others are correct.
I use this document and mail merge every few days so this is going to cause me much grief if it can not be resolved.
I have never experienced this issue before and I consider myself an advanced Word user.
Has anyone else had this issue and knows how to fix it?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the first page of the Word document lost
the header/footer, but the other page display well.
If it is, please try the methods and check if it is helpful:
Click on File>Options>Display and make sure that there is a tick mark in the box for "Show white space between pages in Print Layout view."
Then, do you use DOC file (Create in Word 2007) or DOCX file?If
you use Doc file, I recommend you convert it to DOCX file to test.
If I misunderstand something, please let me know.

When I mail merge a message that incudes a table with an excel spreadsheet, the table disappears and the data appears in list form

I've tried both creating the table using Thunderbird, as well as creating the table in Word first and the problem is the same. I've reinstalled and updated both the mail merge add on and Thunderbird.

If you do not need all the excel specific items you can just write it to a spreadsheet using the write to spreadsheet file vi's.
If you want to go the excel route you will have to use active x. you can see a lot of examples on the excel board under the breakpoint forum. please post a sample of how you want your data to look and I can maybe help explain what options you have. and also oyu do not necesarily need the report generation toolkit.

Is there a reason why the mail badge icon on my iPad doesn't disappear when I open an email on my iPhone using my iCloud account?

Is there a reason why the mail badge icon on my iPad doesn't disappear when I open an email on my iPhone using my iCloud account?

Hi everyone!
Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities:
"The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
Let's keep looking guys...

Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

'Cuz that's what mail merges do. They create multiple documents based on the parent doc and all the names/addresses in your data tables.
Perhaps if you describe exactly what you're trying to do & why you need PDF, we can point you to relevant tutorials.

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

Problems with alignment when printing a mail merge envelope in Word 2013

I am using Mail Merge in Word 2013 to print approximately 100 envelopes, size #10 landscape (9.5" x 4.12"), with a return and recipient address. But when it goes to print, the alignment is completely wrong: it prints the recipient address
at the "top" of the envelope, and the return address is completely cut off. I have everything set up correctly in the document file and can preview each one of my envelopes. Everything looks great on the screen, but the envelopes will
not print correctly.
I have verified Word's printer feed method (by going to Envelopes > Feed > Printing Options) so that it matches how the blank envelopes are sitting in my printer tray. I have verified in both Word and on my printer setup that the #10 envelope
is the correct paper shape/size. I have verified the document's orientation (landscape) and the margins. However, the envelopes still do not print in alignment with how they appear on the screen. I've tried changing the printer feed method
and the position of the envelope, but it prints the same way every time -- regardless of which feed direction I choose in Word. The recipient address is always too high up on the envelope, and the return address is completely cut off.
On a hunch, I inserted a plain sheet of 8.5" x 11" paper and printed the "envelope" on that. Sure enough, Word prints the document as if the envelope were glued to the upper right corner of the sheet of paper. (As in, if I
attached the #10 envelope to the upper right corner of the sheet of paper, all of the fields would be correctly aligned.)
How do I fix this and get the envelopes to print correctly? Please remember that I have tried changing the printer feed method (the direction the envelopes go into the printer) on Word, which has no effect on how the document ends up printing.
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
We would suggest that you do any of the following:
Update your printer driver.
Go back to the
Printing Options
tab of the Envelope Options
dialog box, and make adjustments to the printing options. Print the envelope again. Repeat this process until you discover a configuration of printing options that yields the results that you want.
You may also follow this article steps to Create and print a single envelope test if it works:

I was using raw & my hard disk nearly full. When I downloaded pix, I got message that said hard disk nearly full. My pix downloaded into 2 folders. When I merged them about 50 disappeared. Where can I find them? Using MacBookPro, IPhoto 9.5.1

Where were you downloading the to, iPhoto, a folder on the Desktop, where? Are they still on the camera's memory card? If you deleted them from the card and haven't used the card since they can be recovered with recovery software like MediaRECOVER. You can download the demo version to verify they can be recovered before purchasing it. Other similar apps can be found at MacUpdate.com by searching for "photo recovery" or similar terms.

Mail merging - getting peoples names to appear when I send bulk email

I am sending a mass email of sorts, I want the people I am sending the mail to first name to appear at the top of the letter.
How do I mail merge, or have first name appear when I am BCC emailing 20 email addresses at a time

AFAIK, there's no built-in way to do an email merge in Apple Mail. There are third-party bulk mail programs such as Direct Mail which will do what you describe.

Mail VIP list disappears when logging out/back in

After upgrading mid-2011 iMac to Yosemite, my Mail application's VIP list disappears when I log out and log back in. I have to rebuild it each time by selecting VIP stars in each person's email.

A little more possibly-useful information:
The system typically gets into a bad state - neither firefox nor thunderbird able to start - after the computer goes to sleep (suspend) when I close the lid. Certain updates also break it. Yesterday I updated some rpm packages without incident, but updating the flash plugin caused problems.

When I do a mail merge using an excel document it transfers correctly except the Zip Code part

I have a Word Document that I use to send out advertising letters in the mail. I get the information from an excel spreadsheet that i put together and it usually works out fine but recently after i have done the mail merge the Zip Code is not coming out.
It only shows as a zero "0".
I have maybe around 200 letters that i send out every week and after like the 1st 10 pages the merge doesn't work on the Zip Code.
Could you please let me know what I can do to fix it?
Both the Word and Excel Versions are 2007
Thanks!
Cynthia.

One thing I have done before when getting similar issues is changing the "ZipCode" field to a text field instead of a
number field. This is done in the field properties.

Mail Merge Application

In Mail Merge application, I tried the following but on both ocassions kept getting error :
1. Created document in WORDPAD and saved it as RTF
2. Opened MS-WORD and saved it as RTF document
What is the procedure for creating new document ?
abhay

Scott: Thats fine, I am just trying to understand the concepts.
As someone else said, the Wordpad on Windows 2000 doesnt put that Msftedit string in the RTF header preamble. Darn Microsoft! :)
Some more questions..You have
l_rtf_body := substr(l_clob_content,length(clob_content)-(l_rtf-header_length+4));
What is the reason for the number "4" above?
Also, this wont work for RTF files larger than 32K since that is the limit for strings in PL/SQL, right? Any ideas to workaround this?
Also, sometimes the find_rtf_header function fails to find the header and I get a 'Function returned without a value' error. Any ideas?
Regarding the Content-Disposition, yes, if I open the file directly from the browser it works fine (because I guess it uses the mime type and not the file extension), but when I save it to disk, its name is #OWNER#.mail_merge. Double-clicking on this is obviously not going to open it! But I added a 'Content-Disposition' header with the name I wanted and it works fine.
Thanks
