Can I do a mail merge from Excel in Pages?

I would like to use Pages to send out invoices and form letters to my membership database which is in Excel. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

I'm glad you got it to work. I did mention converting the top row to a header row. It's a common error & the solution isn't at all clear. Here's what I wrote some time ago:
You need to designate a row as a header row in the Numbers table. Imported spreadsheets don't mark the first row as a header row. If the top row does contain the labels, hover the cursor over the row number, click the down-facing arrow that appears & choose convert to header row. If you don't have a row with labels to convert, add a header row using the Table menu or click the icon (middle icon) in the format bar then type in the labels.

  • How do I do a mail merge from contacts to Pages?

    The old version of Pages allowed a simple mail mail merge with Contacts.  The "What's New in Pages" document says you can still mail merge from Contacts, but I'll be hanged if I can figure out how.  Will someone please tell me how to mail merge from Contacts to Pages?  Otherwise, I've got to learn a new word processor.

    There is no built-in mail merge feature with Pages v5. Apple only supports mail merge if you are willing to either create your own AppleScript application or use pre-written AppleScript solutions. Examples are here and here. Pages community discussions about these are here by the developer.
    If you are unwilling to do engage in AppleScript, then fall back and use Pages '09 v4.3.

  • Mail Merging from Excel using iCloud?

    I have a large list of emails on an excel sheet that i need to email to everybody as individuals, how can I mail merge them using icloud?

    Hi,
    Please read the kb 2181579 again, we can find the following information:
    The functionality is available only when the Exchange account is set to
    Use Cached Exchange Mode. The DelegateSentItemsStyle registry value does not affect an Exchange account that is configured in Online mode.
    When you said "add the box as a second Exchange account", did you mean "additional Mailbox"?
    Go to File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> Double click on your account name -> More Settings -> Advanced -> Make sure "Use Cached Exchange Mode" and "Download shared folders" have both been ticked -> OK.
    Kindly check the result.
    Thanks,

  • Mail merge from excel to word

    I think I am doing something incorrectly with mail merge. I wonder if anybody has tips or ideas to help me out.
    thanks, gena

    You will probably do better by asking on the Microsoft Word forum:

    Don't forget to mention what version you are using.

  • Can you make a mail merge from a page layout?  I can successfully do so from the word processing section of pages

    I am trying to mailmerge to a form and need to center certain sections on the same line.  Impossible to accomplish in the word processing portion because it wants to center the entire line.  I would like to use the page layout section but the "enter merge field" is gray.
    I have been able to accomplish the task using Filemaker but some of my constituents do not have Filemaker and I would like to make a template for them to use with numbers, excel,etc.

    Can't see what Layout mode could possibly offer that you don't have in Word Processing mode.
    Tried using centre tabs? You are using tabs, and not just hammering away at the spacebar?

  • Can I mail merge from numbers to pages

    I have designed a post card on pages that I want to merge with a databse in numbers.  I am trying to find out how, but nothing seems to work. 

    Sadie,
    You will get one Section, a Page for most purposes, for each row in the Numbers Merge Table. To print two different cards on one page there are two basic approaches. First, you can create a Numbers table that has two cards worth of data on each row. For instance a row could have name1, address1, name2, address2, then the next row name3, address3, name4, address4.
    The other approach is to create your postcard layout such that two and only two cards will fit on a page and let the merge create only the first one on each page. Then collapse the merged document by doing a Find and Replace to delete all the Section Breaks between records. If your spacing is correct, each page will then fill with two cards worth of data. It can take some fiddling but when you get it right, save it a a template so you don't have to figure it out again next time.

  • HT2500 how do e mail merge from mail

    How can i do e mail merge from my mac

    Something is not quite right here. A MacBook Air does not run any version of IOS, and would you per chance be using OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite instead?
    In Excel, export your Christmas addresses as a comma separated value (CSV) file.
    In OS X Contacts, make a new contact group — let's call it Christmas 2014. Click on this group to make it current. Then from Contacts > File > Import, select your CSV file from the import file chooser. Your Christmas list of contacts are now generated within the new contact group: Christmas 2014. This may be an imperfect process, and may require you to clean up some of these contacts.
    In Contacts > File > Print, you can pick your Avery address label sheet stock number, pick the Christmas 2014 distribution, sort these contacts alphabetically, and print up your labels. Your labels will appear in the large display box in this print dialog. I am excluding this in the screen capture.

  • Mail Merge from Microsoft Word 2010 to "Individual" PDF documents.

    Hi Adobe brothers and sisters,
    I need help with this one.
    I'm Mail Merging over 300 letters and each letter has seven pages. What I'm currently doing is mail merging from Excel to Word then printing it into a single PDF document. Once printed, I select each seven pages and then reprinting in PDF with the name its intended for? This is very time consuming and hoping there is an easier way.
    Is there a way to save each individual PDF documents (each letter) and have them labeled by a specific name listed on the letter intended for (eg: surname) without going through this lengthy process.
    Regards,

    I've developed a tool that will allow you to extract each group of 7 pages
    into a single file with just a few clicks. See:
    http://try67.blogspot.com/2012/01/acrobat-extract-groups-of-pages.html
    However, the file names of the generated files will be generic. If you want
    to use some text from the pages themselves in the file names, that might be
    possible, but would require a more complex script. Contact me personally to
    discuss it further.

  • Mail Merging from Numbers

    I'm trying to Mail Merge from Numbers into Pages to generate mailing envelopes. I've built the columns in my Numbers spreadsheet to correspond to individual merge fields (street, city, state, zip), and I can build my merge template in Pages. When I then try to merge the data from my Numbers document, all that gets generated is a copy of the first row. That's it. Not much of a merge... has anyone else seen this? Am I not merging properly?

    Report the bug and try using Address Book instead for the merge this seems to be a more solid way of doing the job.
    See my (very long post) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1854549&tstart=0
    Personally I am a firm believer in *Prepaid Window Face Envelopes*.
    I imagine you want to personally address the correspondence, which means the name and address are already at the head of your letter.
    Position them so they appear correctly in the prepaid window faced envelope and there is no second pass printing, no error matching letters to envelopes, no sticking on of labels or stamps and less waste to be thrown away at the other end.
    More time to resolve other more pressing problems on my Macs.

  • Mail merge from numbers in icloud

    Is it posilbe to do a mail merge using numbers and pages when both files are on iCloud?

    It can be done but you have to know where to look. The documents you've added to iCloud are in a folder called Mobile Documents in your user library. If you're going to do this on a regular basis, I suggest making an alias of the sub-folder of Numbers documents in your Documents folder where it will be easy to point Pages to. Or you can open the file from the cloud in Numbers & save/move it to access.
    I'm going to leave feedback to the Pages team about this.

  • TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    Depends on how big the file is.  If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it.  If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi.  Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there.  Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example. 
    Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer.  There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need.   The good news is it is free.  The bad news is that it has terrible ratings.  For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
    With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in  the same place.  If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you.  you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

    The genius bar technicians can check your MBP for possible hardware problems and specific software issues that you may have.  The diagnosis will be free.  Any extensive repairs will not be free.
    If you have minor software problems, you essentially will have to deal with them yourself.  Examine these two comprehensive documents for possible problem definition and solutions.  If you encounter problems that you are unable to cope with, start a new discussion and there will be persons willing to assist you in solving them.

  • TS3992 on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

    on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

    Did anyone ever provide a resolution, because I am having the same problem.
    My iCloud backup said yesterday that over 500 MB was being used by the Mail portion of the backup. So I went into iCloud.com, deleted all of the mail in my Sent Mail folder, then emptied the trash entirely. When I did that, it got worse; it said that 1.2 GB of the iCloud backup was taken up by the Mail backup. That doesn't make any sense. That is actually the opposite of what was supposed to happen.
    Today, it is back to saying that Mail takes up 609.4 MB of space in the backup, but there is next-to-nothing in any of my iCloud email folders. What is going on?
    Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

    if you are using excel in place in the web application environment I doubt you can, you've never really had any macro functionalty there.
