Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder, use that.

  • How do you mail merge in the new pages?

    I have a pages document that I merge with an informational spreadsheet for real estate brochures in our office. However, I can't find a mail merge option anywhere in the newest version of pages. Does anyone know a way around this?
    Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    Sadly, you can't.  One of many features removed.
    Apple is now directing users to still use Pages 4.3, which is in am iWork folder within your Applications folder.
    In the meantime, rate on the App Store and leave Feedback to let them know what you need:

  • How do i mail merge with the new Pages and Numbers?

    How do I mail merge with the new Pages and Numbers?
    On Pages 09 I have a document that draws variable data from a spreadsheet created in Numbers.
    With the new Pages and Numbers program update, my links are lost and I am unable to see how to correct this.

    Thanks Peter,
    very disappointing.
    My Pages 09 keeps opening in the new one.
    I dont think they want me to be a loyal customer anymore.
    They changed Final Cut Pro, so now I use Premier Pro
    Aperture 3 has been left behind so now I moved to Lightroom 4.
    And now Pages 5 does not have a vital component, so back to Word.
    Sad day
    Thanks again

  • What WordStar 3.01 can do in Mail Merge that Pages '09 can't.

    I have a Bento database. I want to print contra dances from it on 3x5 index cards. I can save the database as a Numbers worksheet with all the data I want on it. I SHOULD be able to use the fields from that Numbers file to create a Pages document that merges, using that data, to print on the index cards.
    Meanwhile, Apple apparently thinks that addresses are the only kind of data anybody could ever want to merge in a document. This is a stupid limit. Your programmers are unnecessarily standing between me and a reasonable expectation of what your software ought to do.
    I could do this in WordStar in the mid 1980s on a Commodore 128 running CP/M. I could do it in WordPerfect under DOS. I can do it in Word in Windows, and I HATE Windows.
    Why can't I do it in Pages on my Mac?

    I hacked my way to the answer before reading your good advice. I see three problems here:
    1. As you say, the tutorial materials are vague and fail to explain how the feature works or how to get to the feature.
    Agreed
    2. The "Edit:Merge" menu option is greyed out until you add a Merge Field, so you can't connect to a Numbers data source until AFTER you have chosen your first Merge field, which presumes you are using the address book, so the first field has to be an Address Book field even if the eventual document doesn't have any Address Book fields in it.
    No.
    Have you tried my instructions?
    All you need is a Numbers spreadsheet with the appropriate headers in it. Link to that and then you can merge to those revealed headers.
    3. There is apparently a "magic number" bug in Mail Merge in Pages. Since I couldn't connect to a data source until after inserting the first Address Book field and I was working with bad advice from the tutorial, I inserted 14 fields, creating my own cross-reference table in a separate document to tell me which Address Book Field to map each Numbers file Merge Field to.
    Again, why are you insisting on barking up the wrong tree, and arguing with the koalas that they aren't pandas?
    When I actually got around to mapping the fields, I hit the magic number 13 and instead of seeing Numbers fields to map to, I saw Address Book fields again. I tried deleting the field and creating a new one and got a repeat of the Edit:Merge window now pointing to the Address Book. When I once again pointed it to the Numbers file, all the fields I had mapped changed their names to the actual Numbers fields, and when I went to create the new field, the list of choices were from the Numbers file instead of the Address Book.
    Haven't a clue what this is supposed to mean, and why you are still futzing about in Address Book.
    So, I got what I wanted, though I wasted a lot of time unnecessarily using Address Book fields and remapping them to the Numbers fields, and I'm still hampered by the lack of Conditional Merge Fields. From Bento, I have a field named "Becket" that has either a "0" or a "1". I'd like to type the word "Becket" on the card if it is "1" and not type anything if it is "0". I could do that in Wordstar, etc.
    Why?
    It seems that in Pages, I have to tweak the data itself, wrestling with Numbers to replace all "1"s in that column with "Becket" and replace all the "0"s with empty cells. It's a lot more of a tedious process in Numbers than it would be if I just had a conditional Merge field.
    Can't follow what this has to do with a simple merge which is where you started.

  • How do you print comments in pages under mavericks?

    How do you print comments in pages under mavericks? Earlier if show comments was checked, all the comments were visible and could be easily printed. Now only those comments are visible on which the cursor is pointed but even those do not get printed! 

    Thanks to all for to the 'older Pages' suggestion. I don't have the last Pages on my mac anymore (although this is probably just me being really, really dumb), but the suggestion inspired me to try another very similar work around - which was also successful. Just in case anyone's in the same situation as me, am sharing it here!
    For absurd reasons I won't bother to explain, I've also got a version of Word for Mac. I prefer writing on Pages, though, so all my documents (and their comments...) are Pages files. In the really unlikely event that you've also ended up with both Pages and Word (I know...) just export to a .docx file, open it with Word, and print from there. It retains all comments, track chages, etc. This seems really obvious, but I hadn't thought of it...
    This can also be a work around for the lack of 'Compare Documents' and/or 'Merge Documents'.
    Of course this would all be much better if it were actually just in Pages...I hope this helps, and thanks!

  • Why doesn't mail merge in Pages reflect changes made to the numbers source document?

    When using mail merge in a Pages envelope document, changes made to its Numbers address source document are not reflected.  I have to create a whole new Pages envelope document and choose the Numbers address source document merge fields all over again.
    I never had any trouble doing this with Word and Exell!  
    What am I doing wrong?

    Denney,
    Mail Merge from Numbers works just as you are trying to use it.
    You create a Numbers document with the proper layout for merging.
    Enter the data in teh numbers document and Save it.
    You create a Pages Document to merge into and create the links to the Numbers document.
    You Edit > Mail Merge in Pages.
    To merge again from the Numbers document, make the necessary edits, Save the Numbers document and do the mail merge again in the Pages document that you created for that purpose. The only problem that normally arises is that we forget to Save the Numbers document after editing.

  • Mail Merge in Pages 09 - Merge option Greyed out in menu

    the Mail Merge choice in the edit menu is greyed out. I tried everything to resolve this issue (new document, etc). For some unknown reason, I cant mail merge in pages 09. Any suggestion will be very helpful.

    Hi c,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
    Although you are probably asking about Merge from a Numbers document, you question really has to do with Pages, and the Pages '09 forum is likely a more appropriate place for it.
    Have you inserted any Merge Fields into the document? Until you enter the fields and specify a source, Merge will be grey.
    Regards,
    Barry

    You can build a form to a procedure in oracle portal that explores the queue with the option browse and prints de type message with htp package. I made it in this way and my applicattion works right. The procedure must loop the select count(msgid) from aq$[queuetable_name] times.

  • How do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.

  • How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer

    How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer?

    When you follow a hyperlink in Excel, usually it should open in your default browser. You shouldn't have to do anything special in Excel to create the link when Firefox is your default browser compared with IE. However, the Insert Hyperlink dialog might work differently. I think it might be able to automatically pre-populate a URL from IE, while in Firefox, you need to copy the URL from Firefox's address bar and paste it into the Insert Link dialog.

  • How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

    How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

    Hi friends,
    Thank you for trying to help me out.
    Let me explain it a bit to remove the ambiguity.
    I have 10 documents nested under a book. Each of these documents have 'n' number of pages. I want to apply my custom made master page "First" to the first page of all these 10 documents in one go. The remaining pages of the documents have to be in default "Right" master page format. How will I do it?
    I tried selecting all the documents and importing the formats from another document with the custom made "First" master page. The master page format is getting imported but the first page of all the documents still remain with the default "Right" master page format.
    I think now my question is more clear...
