I'm trying to do a mail merge but cannot customize the merge target

I'm trying to merge a fields from a Numbers document into a Pages document to create a customized form letter.  I have been able to customize the merge field name so that I can create a Company merge field in Inspector Link's merge table, and while I can do that, I cannot customize the target field.  Target fields seem to be limited to First Name, Last Name, Address, City, Prov, PC (as they are shown in my Numbers document), even though I do have a column entitled Company.  For some reason, when I customize Company as a merge field, what shows up in the target field in the merge link table is "First Name", and there is no option to select anything else from the drop down menu other that what I have noted above.
Help ... please.  Desperate!!! And slowly going crazy!!!
Thanks.  Using OSX Lion, '09 Pages 4.1 and '09 Numbers 2.1

Hello Peter,
I'm not sure what you mean by "Have you ensured your Numbers table has this exactly (U&lc) in the header?", but this is what I have done.
This is how my column titles look in Numbers, i.e., Company is one column title, First Name is another, etc.:
Company
First Name
Last Name
Address
City
Province
PC
This is how my merge fields look in my Pages document when trying to set up the merge fields:
First Name Last Name
Company
Address
City, Province   PC
Here's a screen shot of Inspector Link - Merge looks like:
I cannot for the life of me figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong ... if in fact I am doing something wrong.  Oh yes, when I click on the arrows in the target name column, the only choices available in the drop down menu are:
First name
Last Name
Street
City
Province
PC
Company
Now, if you, or anyone else, can figure that out, I'd really appreciate it.

    From which account does the email not send?  When sending from an account, the iPad will first try to use the aoutgoing server for that account.  If it can't it will try the other accounts listed.in the setting on the iPad for that account.  It soulds like the server for the account is not working and that the alternate server is resjecting the messag since it did not originate ffrom the account associated with that server,  That is to prevent sending spam.

  • I'm trying to print onto mailing labels, but it won't line up correctly.  It looks right on the template and the 1st row prints right.  The text keeps moving down a line on each row of labels, preventing it from printing the rest of them correctly.

    I'm trying to print onto mailing labels, but it won't line up correctly.  It looks right on the template and the 1st row even prints correctly.  The text keeps moving down a line on each row of labels, so the rest of it will not print correctly.  

    There are several ways you can go about this.
    1. Most labels come with Word templates or downloadable Word templates. Simply open those in Pages.
    2. Make a table with extra cells for the thin spaces between the labels and skinny those down to match the spaces. ie You have big fat cells for the actually labels and thin narrow empty ones for the gaps.
    3. Make a floating Text box the size of one label, format with dummy text just the way you like it.
    +Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder text+
    You can now drag and drop snippets of text, the addresses etc onto those and it will replace them matching the style of the existing text.
    You duplicate that text box into position of the other labels by clicking on it with the command kety held down, then drag copy it up or across with the option and shift keys held down. Fine tune the positions with:
    +Inspector > Metrics > Position+

    I keep trying to update my mail inbox but keep being told connection to the server has failed.

    Quit the maill app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account >Mail>Off. Restart the iPad and go back to settings and turn mail on again and see if that works.
    Or try this as well ....Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • I corrupted the firefox profile file using profile manager and firefox thinks it is still running and asks me to close but there is no instance of it running...I have tried several re-installs but cannot resolve the problem....

    .........I have deleted the .ini file associated with the profile file and the profile file itself...have tried to locate the "lock" file but cannot find the file in the specified path on the support forum for this problem....I believe there is a file mounted in another directory somewhere that firefox is seeing....I would really like to be able to use firefox as the default browser on this new linux (ubuntu) install...it was working prior to my trying to import my profile from the windows partition.....

  • Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall

    Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall. The IT guys have opened up the ports and URL's specified in the Adobe documentation.  I have also captured the network traffic of both the failed and successful downloads for IT to examine (using Little Snitch), however they can find nothing to account for the problem.  Adobe just seems to "give up and die" after about 2-3 minutes.  Why is this?  How can I or IT fix this?
    Can I send the above log files to someone familiar with these issues for examination?

  • Im having trouble getting my macbook pro to boot up after a fail safe boot, im getting as far as the grey screen with the apple loggo. so im trying to run a disk repair but is saying the disk is locked, how do i unlock disk??

    Im having trouble getting my macbook pro to boot up after a fail safe boot, im getting as far as the grey screen with the apple loggo. so im trying to run a disk repair but is saying the disk is locked, how do i unlock disk??

    Some clarification may help.
    You say you cannot boot normally.  It shows a gray screen with the Apple logo.
    Did you say it will boot successfully in Safe Mode (boot, then hold down the Shift key)?
    How did you boot the machine to run Disk Utility?  (Which keyboard combinations)?

  • I had backed up my IPhone 4s on iCloud on Jan 19. I am now trying to do another back up but it says the time required is 7 hours. It appears to long a time for 1GB of data stored on the iCloud. Can someone help me please?

    I had backed up my IPhone 4s on iCloud on Jan 19. I am now trying to do another back up but it says the time required is 7 hours. It appears to long a time for 1GB of data stored on the iCloud. Can someone help me please?

    To be honest, that sounds about right.
    For example on my 8Mbps (megbits) down service I get around 0.4Mbps upload.  That is the equivalent of (very approximately) 3Mb (megabytes) per minute or 180Mb per hour.  Over 7 hours that would be just over 1Gb.
    Obviously, it all depends on your connection speed, but that is certainly what I would expect, and that is why I use my computer for backing up, not iCloud.  So much quicker.

    Hi You may have a hardware fault take ipad to Apple Store. Ring then first to make an Appointment take box and you purchase paperwork they may give you A replacement. Before you do that Try a Reboot hold down power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you may need to hold down for up to 30 Seconds But you may need to do this more than once. If it doesn't work take back to Apple Store. Cheers Brian
