Mail merge file type

hey i just created a mail merge file using pages. I succesfuly created a pages document with all the pages containing all the infirmation for each individual. The problem is, how to I send the content as an normal email, without having to end them as pages, word or PDF file?
Thanks

Mail merge is for sending Pages, Word, Pdf etc document attached in a mail. It doesn't put the content of the document in the mail text layer. For that you have to go to Mail and open one new mail document and add what you want to send and then in the To field you add all the addresses you want to send to. If Mail can do it in a niftier way you have to ask in the forum for MacOs x ...> Mail

Mail merge file sequence

When I create a new mail merge document using the address book for the data, I can't get the file in any other sequence except by the first name. I would like to have the documents printed out in Last name sequence (A-Z). Can you help?

I have been fiddling with mail merge just to see what happens and you are right. It is sorted by first name no matter how Address Book is sorted.
Have you tried using Numbers? Maybe sorting by last name works better from Numbers.

Email PDF from Mail Merge Problem

Using a data source of email addresses from Excel 2003 and performing a mail merge in Word 2003 with the Mail Merge to Adobe PDF button, everything worked okay and the emails generated to the outbox in Outlook 2003 with the relevant PDFs attached. However, once they were mailed the recipients who use Outlook Express had the attachments missing. I'm using Acrobat 8.1.5
I've seen previous queries about this and it seems to relate to Outlook using a RTF format. I set Outlook to default to html and then plain text formats but still had the same problem. Can anyone suggest how I can solve this or if the problem is Outlook related, then another email program that would work without causing this problem (preferable freeware or inexpensive).
Thanks

Just an interesting after thought, since you mentioned blocking. Several federal agencies and companies block zip files also. I ran onto a message recently about the university blocking zip files at one time because of a problem. Mail merge files are typically personalized and it would be nice for them to go intact. If they re not personalized, but just being sent in general, then posting the basic file and e-mailing a link might work better. For a lot of things I do, I just use the mail merge that is built into my e-mail client. That creates a mail-merge of messages that are personalized.
Just thought the blocking comment might be of interest, though I give the same advice. I am not sure how it could be done with zip in a mail merge sense.

Mail merge indian system 12,34,56,789 format not shown

I am using Mail merge Word to Excel
Numeric value has been typed in excel sheet as 123456789, I want it as 12,34,56,789 (Indian currency format) while displaying
I want to display the number in the Word Mail Merge file as 12,34,56,789 (Indian currency format) and also if possible in words i.e. Twelve Crores Thirty Four Lakhs Fifty Six thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty Nine only

For the mergefield number format, you could add a numeric picture switch to the field. To do this:
• select the field;
• press Shift-F9 to reveal the field coding. It should look something like {MERGEFIELD MyData};
• edit the field so that you get {MERGEFIELD MyData \# 00','00','00','000};
• position the cursor anywhere in this field and press F9 to update it;
• run your mailmerge.
Note: If you need to handle numbers that have only the 34,56,789 or the 56,789 or even just 789, you'll need to test the underlying values via an IF field and output the results with a different switch for each case.

IWork 09 Pages Mail Merge Reference 2 Tables

I am using Pages 09 and creating a mail merge file from tables in Numbers I want to merge data from several different tables in the numbers into one document in Pages has anyone been able to do this?
Brenda

Hi Brenda,
Chapter 11 of the Pages '09 User Guide, , starts on p. 243 of the guide. This excerpt from p. 245 describes adding merge fields referencing a Numbers table:
To insert merge data for one or more contacts using a Numbers document:
1 Choose Edit > Mail Merge, and then click Numbers Document.
2 Choose a Numbers document in the window that appears, and click Open.
3 For each merge field, click the Target Name pop-up menu in the Merge window, and
select a target.
4 Print the document.
5 To reuse the document with other Numbers data, select another Numbers document,
and repeat steps 1 through 4.
(emphasis added)
My reading of this, with particular attention to the bolded parts, is that the merge data can come only from a single Table on a single Numbers document. Wording of references to Numbers through the rest of the chapter is consistent with that interpretation.
The Pages '09 User Guide may be downloaded through the Help menu in Pages.

Barry

Urgent: Mail merge type report

Hi All,
Reports version 2.5 on NT
I'm not a reports expert so pardon me if it is a simple question.
I'm trying to create a salary certificate for all the employees. This will be a mail merge type of report, where there will be static text embedded with dynamic data from the database.
Now my problem is that I want to print the static text with normal font and DB text in bold style.
I can't use fields for DB columns as then my formatting will go for a toss because the data inside the fields is of variable length.
Please advise on what to do? Any workarounds?
Regards
Naveen

You still need to use a Field object that sources on the corresponding DB column. Set font style of the Field object to "Bold". Set its "Horizontal Elasticity" property to "Expand".

Default file destination in Microsoft Word 2010 Mail Merge to PDF

I'm using windows 2010, and Adobe Acrobat X Standard.
I have a mail merge template that I created in Microsoft Word 2010 that I use to send out multiple price quotes to customers who are bidding jobs. When I merge to Adobe PDF everything works properly (everyone receives their unique PDF, etc.), but every time I do this Adobe requires that I select a destination folder for it to send the PDF's it generates that get attatched to the emails.
When I save a Word Doc as a PDF it automatically saves it in the same folder at the word document it was created from. Is there a way I can set up my 'Merge to Adobe PDF' feature to do the same thing when it generates the merged PDF files? It's just a hastle to map the entire file path of the desination folder every time I send out a quote.
Thanks for your help!

Mail merge using PDF file and Excel spreadsheet

How do I mail merge an existing PDF file (the template) with a 50-record text file exported from Excel to create 50 PDFs? I am using Adobe Acrobat XI. I could not find anything under TOOLS | FORMS that would allow me to do a mail merge. I was able to import the text file but it only produced one record.
Since this is a pre-designed legal document, I do not want to recreate the PDF file in MS Word, then perform the mail merge in Word to PDF.
From my online research it seems I will be forced to purchase an Acrobat plugin to perform this simple task.
Am I simply overlooking something?
Thanks.

oracle reports does not provide this capability. however, the e-business suite provides a tool that might do, what you are looking for ...

Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

'Cuz that's what mail merges do. They create multiple documents based on the parent doc and all the names/addresses in your data tables.
Perhaps if you describe exactly what you're trying to do & why you need PDF, we can point you to relevant tutorials.

Mail Merge type reporting in APEX

Has anyone implememted a reporting tool to create mail merge type documents in APEX 4.0? I have read threads from 2005 - forward on solutions for older releases of APEX. BI Pub is more than our budget, so we are looking for something less costly.
I have read about BIRT and PL/PDF.
Any suggestions would be great!!
Keisha

I found the following to work better.. Like you use..oracle to get data in csv format and then use mail merge..
Other solution is Jasper .. Third there are third party software available but that wont be a solution..
I Think the easies way is get your data in csv format and from there ...you start using mail merge..word can talk directly to csv format data.

Attach any file type in the same format and send it thorugh mail

Dear Guru ,
I have encountered an issue which i am not able to resolve .
The issue is like this I need to upload any kind of file type(such as .txt, .xls, .pdf, .doc, .jpeg, .bmp)
and need to send that file send that particular file and the same file type format attached in the mail.
how i should approch to get solution to this issue.
I have gone through the all prog refered in the code gallry (related to send mail with attachment) but i am not able to find out any prog which is giving guidine line attach any kind of file type from the PC (most of the prog is with either taking filetype .txt, .xls or RAW) and send it via mail .
Need proper guideline to resolve this issue.... how i should approch to solve this.....
Thanks & regards
Saifur Rahaman

Dear Saha Da,
Yes saha da i know using SO00 or Sap Business Workplace (SBWP) you can send it.
But the requirment is like this it must have to do from the selection scereen of the prog .User can save the path of the file which is residing in pc in a variant and from that variant prog will run in background to automate the process.
We can do it using harcoding the filetype while uploading data from the selection screen.
But we have to provide the flexiblity to the user so that he/she can change to any file or any file path.
I am not pretty sure but i my plan i am thinking 1st i will provide the provision of uploading the file into sap application server and from there we will read the file type , file content and send it to mail.
I know it can be done but right now dont know how it can be done ..... but i will findout...
Can you give me some more guideline reagrding this.
Thanks & regards

Have tried many times to do mail merge from csv file but not working have watched all u tube vids!! Please help thank you

I've downloaded Thunderbird and have imported all emails etc - works great!
BUT when I try to do a mail merge it doesn't work! I've saved my excel file as cvs and understand that I need to use {{Email}} , {{First Name}} etc
It just doesn't work for me - no emails in outbox or sent items?
any ideas please?

can you confirm a few things?
You downloaded 'Mail Merge' and it is displayed in the Thunderbird 'Addon Manager' and it is enabled.
Open the .csv file and checked that the info you are entering in the Write message eg: {{Email}} , {{First Name}} etc is the same as the column headers.
example:
{{FirstName}} OR {{First Name}}
{{Email}} OR {{Primary Email}}
you can edit the .csv file to change eg: {{Primary Email}} to {{Email}}
you can also move the column headers, so that the first three columns show : First Name, Last Name, Email

I get an error trying to use Apple Address Book with Word Mail merge - says it cannot open data file?

I am running MS Word 2011, latest Mac OS, and trying to use the Mail Merge option with the Apple Address Book as the data source.
However whenever I select the Apple Address Book as the data source, I get the error "Word was unable to open the data source".
Anybody got any idea why?
Thanks for your help

I am guessing you could have solved this little problem already but perhaps someone else may benefit:
I struggled with the same problem - not being able to use Mac Address Book (i.e. Contacts) with Word 2013 for mac mail-merge (on Mountain Lion and, now, on Mavericks) - with the exact same error message reported by Klausngigtoas above .
So I read lots of techie stuff on forums which passed a nice few hours but didn't help. Finally, with slumped, defeated expression, I gave up.
But I just now (such is life) I accidentally stumbled upon the simple solution:
1. Enter System Preferences and click Security & Privacy.
2. Select the Privacy tab and then on Contacts on the left hand panel.
3. In the right hand panel ("Allow the apps below to access your contacts") just tick the Contacts box.
4. And Voilà! - at least it worked for me - hope it does for you.
