How to do a mail merg with numbers?

I've made a mailing list in numbers and now want to turn it into lables for mailing. How do I make this happen?

The instructions for doing a Mail Merge are in Chapter 11 of the Pages User Guide. The basic requirements are:
o Your Numbers document must have a merge table with one Header Row. The titles in the header row will be used to establish the links to your Pages document.
o You will get one Pages Document Section for each Row in your Merge table in Numbers.
o Your Numbers Document must be Saved. Only Saved data will be merged.
Regards,
Jerry

How can I use mail merge with numbers in the new pages version?

I am trying to use mail merge with the new version of pages and can not seem to be able to figure it out. PLEASE HELP!!!

Nope. Version 5 is a fashion accessory: it looks like software, but it doesn;t actually do anything. Sort of like a sports car with a lawn-mower engine. Looks snzzy. Doesn't really work. (And given how buggy it is, I should further specifiy that the lawn-mower engine comes with a blade: it chews up your old templates, produces files that cannot be sent as email attahcments [yes, really], and—this just in—doesn;t play well with the new SMB facility of Mavericks. In short, as one reviewer put it, "un unmitigated disaster."

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

How do I convert mail merge documents to individual pdf docs and save each with a field in the merge?

How do I convert mail merge documents to individual pdf docs and save each with a field in the merge?

Is this an actual field, or just some piece of static text somewhere? Either way, you can't do it using the Split Document command. You'll need to use a custom-made script to read the value of this "field" and use it when extracting pages from the file.

E-mail merge with Word and Outlook problem

I'm trying to do an e-mail merge with Office 2011: Word, Excel, and Outlook.
Before you start typing, I've already searched the web, searched the Apple forums, and posted to the Microsoft forum, with no success.
Anyway: I have outlook configured to send and receive mail from a single Gmail account.
Outlook works otherwise to send and receive mail.
Outlook is set, in both Mail and Outlook, to be the default e-mail program.
Everything seems to work fine until the final step, clicking the generate e-mail merge button that should send the mail merge to Outlook. The mail merge emails are supposed to appear in Outlook, but they don't.
If you have figured out how to do this, please let me know.
I would prefer to do this with Mail and Numbers, or Excel and Mail, but that functionality does not exist. I'm sure it would probably work if it did.
I have a standalone mail merge app (MaxBulk Mailer) but I'd prefer to use the database I already have, which is in Excel, rather than have to create two databases, one in Excel, and another in MaxBulk. MaxBulk has some other problems as well and is not a great solution.
Thanks.

Not sure if this is entirely the same issue but.... we just saw a very similar issue resolved here by my recommending that one of our mail merge-using faculty run the Outlook 2011 database rebuild utility (holding down option while starting Outlook 2011 for OSX). Mail Merging from Excel 2011 mailing lists to Outlook 2011 starting working like a charm after that.
The differences with our setup were that we were sending a mail merge via an Exchange Server, not GMail, and that this issue started after upgrading from 10.6 to 10.9 via the App Store. Mail Merging had been working fine in 10.6.
Worth a try? Guard your backups and good luck!

I'm trying to mail merge a numbers document to make labels. It will only merge so that all the labels one one page are the same. I want them to all be different. Help

I want to mail merge a numbers doc so I can print labels. It will only merge with six labels of the same info on each page instead of six different labels on each page.. Help!

Pages only does one set of data per page but there are ways around this:

How to repear a corrupt file with Numbers

How to open a "corrupt" file with Numbers.
With excel it is possible to open such a file with the following error message :
"The file you are trying to open, 'filename.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
Clicking YES, the file is opening correctly with XLS.
How to do the same with Numbers?
When i try to open the same file with numbers i have no "error message" but the information contained in the file is not readable.
Many thanks for your help

Yeah that's true to an extant; microsoft did a good job fixing that but unfortunately allowed it to be re-introduced in 2006 with windows vista where they allowed file naming to receive destructive values (wasn't very fond of this);
in previous versions of windows such values once entered would be followed by an error message telling you those values couldn't be used
I wasn't aware it would pop its ugly head back up into windows 7 but I see otherwise as in the case of mine
(I forgot to mention the period preceded a parenthesis which in turn can be destructive to the file's original format)
Anyway photoshop wont open the file after changing it to .psd leaving an error message stating....
'Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop'

Does anyone know the best way to create a form that you can do a mail merge with?

I have been asked to create a form that can be used to do a mail merge. At first I thought I could create it in indesign and then pdf the file and do form fields right in the pdf, but I'm not sure if you can do a mail merge with data in an excel file and a pdf file containing form fields.
The other option I know I could use is a Word file and excel, but I don't think the functionality is as good as in a pdf (like addition of percentages, or error messages, radio buttons, etc.). And I do need to be able to do a mail merge. Anybody have any suggestions?

There is not built-in feature for this, but it can be done with scripting. The problem is it can be a bit complicated, and it more complicated to decribe in much detail in a forum posting. It involves creating the base form and making the pages templates. You can export from Excel to a tab delimited text file. You can then either programmatically create a template-based FDF that when loaded into Acrobat populates the PDF form, creating as many individual forms as needed, or using JavaScript in Acrobat to read the data file and generate as many individual forms as needed. Both approaches involve a similar amount of programming, but they're quite different.
You might want to look into this product, which apparently is no longer available but may be come back soon: http://www.debenu.com/products/eol/arts-pdf-variform-lite/

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.

Mail Merge from Numbers with long text fields

I'm having trouble doing a Mail Merge that's reading fields from a Numbers spreadsheet. Everything is working as expected except for my one field that contains several sentences of text for each record. Nothing from that field gets transferred into the merged document and there is no error message (the courtesy of an error message would be much appreciated if I'm hitting some limit of the feature!).
If I make fairly short text fields, it will merge successfully, but it would be tedious to go through my large text field and break each one into multiple shorter ones, and I haven't been able to figure out the limit on text length if there is one, so there would be a lot of trial and error. It doesn't seem to be by number of words, so perhaps it is by number of characters?
I have tried cutting and pasting into a new table in Numbers, pasting as values in case there was any weird formatting at issue.
I can't find anything to help me either fix this or at least know what the limitations are on Mail Merge. The only discussion I found here suggested either splitting the text fields or creating a new document, and those haven't worked for me.
Thanks for any leads people can give me on this!

Luckily I'm only merging a few dozen records, so I can go through by hand and pick out the odd spaces. But I'm open to any ideas for saving me that work, too!
Numbers can do a character count, but unfortunately can't do that 'live' as you are entering characters into the entry box; only when the string has actually been entered into a cell.
You can, however, make an estimate of the number of characters by entering them into a text frame of fixed width using a mono-spaced font. In the examples below, the font is Andale Mono 10pt, and the text boxes are 4.50 inches wide.
The top example shows the result when exactly 254 characters from the first paragraph of your previous post are entered in the box. For this example, leaving off the two words that wrapped onto line six and including only the first five lines of text would leave a 'headroom' of nine (or ten, depending on whether the space after "but" was included) characters.
To use: Enter your text into the text box using Andale Mono 10 pt. Select and Cut the first five lines. Click on the table cell to receive this chunk. Go Edit > Paste and Match Style to use the font set in the table, or simply Paste to use Andale Mono in this cell.
Repeat until all text has been transferred.
More below.
You can also get the actual character count using the LEN() function. In the table on the left, each of the cells B3, B4 and B5 contain the formula
=LEN(A)-254
A3, A4 and A5 contain part or all of the text shown in the two text boxes. I've set the alignment of these cells to 'Align right' to show the end of each string.
The Conditional formatting rules below are applied to cells B4 and B5. They set the background colour of the cell to 'amber' when the cell in column A is within 10 characters of the maximum and to red when the maximum is exceeded. The numbers in the cells show how many more characters may be added (negative numbers) or how many excess characters (positive numbers) are in the cell to the left.
These check cells may be placed in a separate table, and the formula revised to include the table name of the data table.
Regards,
Barry
