How to get pages ver 5 mail merge to work using numbers as a data source

As a long time user of MS Word and Excel, I use the mail mail merge feature to create invoices by merging client contact info into the invoice template. At the end of Nov-2013, I changed to a new-to-me MBP-15. After purtchasing and downloading Pages, Numbers and Keynotes, I had difficulty using my Word/Excel files as a merge in Pages and Numbers.  Apple support has told me that the feature no longer works in Pages/Numbers version 5 in the OS 10.9 op-sys.  What a BIG disappointment.  I've begun to find some work arounds, but they are a pain in the @$$.
Does anyone have any updates on this issue?
Has anyone found a simple to use work around?
Any help is appreciated.

Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Can't get PHP's mail() function to work on local Apache install

    I'm using Leopard and installed all available updates. I've done a clean install of Leopard, so no Tiger upgrade.
    I've installed the latest stable versions of Apache, PHP and MySql through MacPorts/command line in Leopard. So far so good, everything works except for PHP's mail() function.
    Does anyone know how to get PHP's mail() function to work on my localhost? Searching the web through Google taught me it's impossible to get it to work under Leopard but I find that hard to believe. Can anyone help me out?

    Any help appreciated.

  • How to get page one to animate only once in interactive pdf?

    how to get page one to animate only once in interactive pdf? I like when the document opens up in acrobat and the the page animations work but when I go to one of the pages and hit my designated home button it goes back to page one but it reloads again. As a user it would drive me crazy to have to wait for all of it to load......anyway to have that page one load once as the opening page?

    I don't think you really mean animations (unless you have a placed SWF file) because things created with the Animation panel don't work in PDF. Nonetheless, you're talking about some kind of interactivity which is set to happen On Page Load.
    So when you return to that page, of course the interactivity loads again.
    There isn't a On Page Load Once command.
    Perhaps you need to rethink why the interactivity is there. If it's important, maybe it should be triggered by a rollover or by clicking a button.

  • How do you do a mail merge in ms word?

    Hello,
    I have the form letter created in Word and my list of recipients are in an Excel sheet. How do I do the mail merge so that each letter is addressed to one individual from the excel sheet? Do I have to type each person's info in manually? I have over 200 records.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the discussions, Tiffany.
    Use Tools/Mail Merge Manager and follow through the steps.
    But that is not an Apple Mail and Address Book question!

    then how to get page nos at buttom of each page .
    thanks in advance
    shiv

    Hi,
    I think you have to define the page size because for each page if you have defined the page size(say N),  at first top of page will be triggered and after the N number of lines the end of page event is defined. Please check this if you have not defined all the page size it assumes all the lines in one page. Please check.
    Thanks.

  • How to get Page Count of pdf in Document library in EventHandler

    Hi,
    How to get Page Count of pdf in Document library once uploaded has been done and i would like to update the page count value in document library column of the corresponding file.
    I should achieve it in Event handler.
    Which even should i use, either ItemAdded or "ItemUpdated "?
    Thanks & Regards
    Poomani Sankaran.

    Hello,
    If you are looking for file download or view count then event handler will not work. You need to enable the analytic report to your site. Once you enable it then you can see the report within a browser or you can also create custom webpart to show count
    of specific file.

  • How to get list of applied patches which applied using admrgpch

    How to get list of applied patches which applied using admrgpch

    You can't really get the individual patch IDs from a merged patch, unless you have the log file from the admrgpch run available.
    You can, however, get the list of bugs fixed by a merged patch, and those bug numbers sometimes, but not always, correspond to a patch ID. Keep in mind, though, that individual patches often contain entries for multiple bug numbers.
    Here's a query that I use to look at the contents of merged patches. It works best if the merged patches have been given unique names, instead of the default name 'merged' from admrgpch. If you run it and see that everything belongs to patch name 'merged,' you might want to change the selected column to ap.applied_patch_id instead of ap.patch_name.
    select ap.patch_name
    , ad.orig_patch_name
    , ad.driver_file_name
    , ad.merged_driver_flag
    , ad.merge_date
    , bug.bug_number
    , cp.patch_abstract
    from ad_applied_patches ap
    join ad_patch_drivers ad using (applied_patch_id)
    join ad_comprising_patches cp using (patch_driver_id)
    join ad_bugs bug using (bug_id)
    order by applied_patch_id;

  • My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..

    My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
    So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
    I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
    Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
    I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
    Kind Regards

  • How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?

    How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?
    Hi,
    I do generate XML-Files by using DBMS_XMLGEN with output by UTL_FILE
    but it seems, the xml-Datafile I get on end is not really UTF-8 encoding
    ( f.ex. cannot verifying it correct in xmlspy )
    my dbms is
    NLS_CHARACTERSET          = WE8MSWIN1252
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     = AL16UTF16
    NLS_RDBMS_VERSION     = 10.2.0.1.0
    I do generate it in this matter :
    declare
    xmldoc CLOB;
    ctx number ;
    utl_file.file_type;
    begin
    -- generate fom xml-view :
    ctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext('select xml from xml_View');
    DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowSetTag(ctx, null);
    DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowTag(ctx, null );
    DBMS_XMLGEN.SETCONVERTSPECIALCHARS(ctx,TRUE);
    -- create xml-file:
    xmldoc := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(ctx);
    -- put data to host-file:
    vblob_len := DBMS_LOB.getlength(xmldoc);
    DBMS_LOB.READ (xmldoc, vblob_len, 1, vBuffer);
    bHandle := utl_file.fopen(vPATH,vFileName,'W',32767);
    UTL_FILE.put_line(bHandle, vbuffer, FALSE);
    UTL_FILE.fclose(bHandle);
    end ;
    maybe while work UTL_FILE there is a change the encoding ?
    How can this solved ?
    Thank you

    Marco,
    I tryed to work with dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file,
    that works good,
    but what is in this matter with encoding UTF-8 ?
    in my understandig, the xmltyp created should be UTF8 (16),
    but when open the xml-file in xmlSpy as UTF-8,
    it is not well ( german caracter like Ä, Ö .. ):
    my dbms is
    NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
    NLS_RDBMS_VERSION = 10.2.0.1.0

    insert into nh_test (select 3,'mäckie' from dual );
    insert into nh_test (select 4,'euro_€' from dual );
    commit;

    end;
    ( its the same when using output with DBMS_XMLDOM.WRITETOFILE )
    open in xmlSpy is:
