Label Templates for Mail Merge - Any ideas?

Okay you guys, I want to RAPIDLY set up various label templates (as you can in WORD) by selecting the label type ( manufacturer code) and off you go with your merging. Problem is, I cannot find anything like that - or am I overlooking something?
I have found how you set up a Mail Merge field etc. But I cannot find any indicators ( even on the Help) as to where you can get label or equivalent templates... ALL help gratefully received... even if it is staring me in the face! - I have broad shoulders!
Here's hoping....

Jerrold, thank you, however, it is more than just addresses, I have been used to creating all sorts of labels using logos, words etc. and "it just happened" - it sure aint at the moment! I fear I may have to resort to Avery's on-line app and do it "in the clouds" not something I wish to do really... I wonder what the reason is for not allowing such a core need in Pages at the moment?
Oh well !
<SIGH!>

Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).

Can I use FileMaker as a source for mail merge in Pages

Can I use FileMaker as a source for mail merge in Pages

Sorry I posted this and then started reading some of the replies. I did see them as I am newbie here.
Looks like the only solution at this time is to export the data to a csv file, open it in numbers and use the numbers file as the source for the mail merge.
Would it be possible to have FileMaker then run an applescript ? or automator script to automatically convert the CSV file to numbers and then rename that Numbers file so that it is consistent and can be reused by the Pages "template" for subsequent documents to be used based on this template?

Import data from SQL Server into MS Word document for Mail Merge purpose ?

Hi,
Is it possible to import contacts from SQL Server into MS Word for mail merge purpose or if retrieving data from MS Excel can we update the data in MS Excel sheet without opening it ?
Note: Remember when you open a word document already set up for mail merge, asks you to run the query to return all records from the excel sheet it is connected to.

Word and the current data source dialog do not really give you any help with that.
You either have to be able to create a View in SQL Server that performs the query you need, then connect to that, or you have to be able to create the correct query manually (or perhaps using some other query tool that can help you), then use VBA to connect
using that query.
For example, if you have been through the connection process once (connecting to a single table) then you will have a .odc (Office Data Connection file) which has the info. needed to connect to the correct server and database. It's a text file with some
HTML and XML inside. You can copy/rename it. Let's say it is called "c:\a\myodc.odc" Then in VBA you can use something like
ActiveDocument.OpenDataSource Name:="c:\a\myodc.odc, _
SQLStatement:="put your SQL statement in here, and if it is long,...", _
SQLStatement1:="put the second part in here"
You get a maximum of either 255 or around 511 characters in the SQL statement, and Word tends to impose some syntax requirements that Transact-SQL does not, so e.g. you may need to quote all your table names.
You can also se an empty .odc file and provide connection info. in the COnnection:= parameter in OpenDataSource.
As background, until Word 2000, by default you would use MS Query to create your SQL query, and MS Query does have facilities that can help you build your query (a bit like the ones in MS Access). That may still be possible (it is a bit harder to find the MS
Query option now, and I am not sure it works with the latest versions of Word). MS Query only works for ODBC queries, and they do not always work correctly when you actually issue the query using ODBC from Word, because of a Word problem to do with Unicode
fields in SQL Server. But you could probably still use MS Query to help you construct your SQL. (It's probably easier to do that in Excel, though).

I can't attach files to my e-mails instead of embedding them in the body of the e-mail. Any ideas?

I can't attach files to my e-mails instead of embedding them in the body of the e-mail. Any ideas?

Mail sends certain kinds of graphical attachments as inline content. The decision to do that was made for you by Apple. There's no built-in way to override it, as far as I know.
The recipient's mail client may or may not take Mail's suggestion to display the content inline.
You have these options:
Zip the files before attaching them to the message.
Use something like Attachment Tamer. (That's not an endorsement — it may cause problems.)
Use another mail client that allows for more control over the format of outgoing messages.

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas? No problems with the set up previously to this.

Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
Good Luck to you.

Leveraging Book of Business for Mail Merge

I'm looking for some advice from the community on how I can make use of the Book of Business for segmenting records for mail merges?
Bascially, I want to restrict my mail merge to contain only those contacts who are linked to a specific Book of Business. Problem is I'm not quite sure how best to achieve this!
Thanks in advance,
Cameron

Cameron,
I don't believe you can get a list of records attached to a book (wish you could), you'd need to create the list based upon your rules for assigning BOB's. For example with a company i setup BOB for we assigned the books by region. So where location = north then assign to North book. Your list would then be where location= north.
hope this helps.

Im trying to install a new application on my mac but it keeps on coming up with 'The volume of this disk does not meet the requirements for this update' any ideas how to solve this?

I have recently fully updated my mac to 10.8.2 and i am trying to install a small facebook application but every time i come to chose the disk it says ' OS X facebook developer preview can not be installed on this disk. This volume of this disk does not meet the requirements for this update' any ideas on how to get round this?
thanks

That may be the new Mountain Lion "sandbox" protective software kicking in, possibly, because ML "thinks" that App doesn't meet ML's new strict security requirements. A common phenomena. If you feel the 3rd party App is really OK, you can override this feature and install the new App by holding down the Command key when you click to install the new App. That's one possibility for the error message appearing. If not, another possibility is that that Developer Preview software package requires some previous piece of software be installed prior to downloading this Preview. You would have to check the Facebbok websiste's Developer Forums for help if this is the case.
Hope this helps

After updating to ios 5, my calendar sometimes freezes when entering a new event. I have tried syncing but it doesn't fix the problem. Are there any bug fixes for this? Any ideas would be great thanks, I don't really want to have to reset everything!

Try to reset the iPod by pressing the home and sleep button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.

Hi, everyone.
I'm Having trouble with OWA and Certs after the Rollup 7 for SP3 installation. any idea? update 2961522-
after running get-OWAVirtualDirectory or test-OWAConnectivity i'm getting a message that says "OWA it's Orphan, No Metadata information can be found."
I only have the OWA users impacted.- anywhere users, and ActiveSync are working well.-
Thanks,

Hi Fabian,
Is there any error code when user access their mailbox on OWA. Please confirm if there is no results returned in EMS when you run Get-OWAVirtualDirectory cmdlet. Also check whether there is any Event Logs related to OWA in Exchange.
In IIS manager, make sure the OWA virtual directory is listed in the Default Web Site. In EMC, we can navigate to Server Configuration > Client Access, select server and turn to Outlook Web App tab. Then we can click Reset Virtual Directory in the right
Actions pane to reset OWA virtual directory.
Additionally, please restart IIS service by running iisreset /noforce from a Command Prompt window.
