Mail Merger w/ Hyperlink Pics Using Pages

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a mass email using excel or a .txt file and pages. I need to make hyperlink .jpgs in the email (which I've done in Microsoft Word before). The hyperlink box always seems to be greyed out for this option. Any tips on how to do it? If you can't do it in pages how can I do it?
Also any helpful articles on merging your pages doc with your mail program?
Thanks

Also, this is on pages 09'

Mail merge to PDF adds extra page

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro on an XP platform (sp2), doing a mail merge from a MS Word (2003) document and sending by email. The resulting PDF document attached in the email includes an extra, blank page. Anyone seen this before?
The original document is a certificate and includes a border around the full page.
Thanks!

Since you are doing the mail merge from WORD, you can more simply just open the print menu and change the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Then check the document to be sure there is only 1 page (There will probably be 2). Fix the page issue and do your mail merge. Changing the default printer is not required unless you are doing the conversion from outside WORD - changing in the print menu is adequate.

Mail Merge - multipe records to a page

I'm trying to print a legal size document with 4-up labels using 4 different mail merge feature without success.i.e. I have a mailing list of 150+ records that I am looking to print to the 4 labels on the legal sized document.
Tried using the mulitiple records options in numeous ways without success... also tried placeholders in master without success...
Any clues as to what I must be missing?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!

The problem is most likely that you have other stuff on the page.
The multiple records per page function works by reproducing EVERYTHING on the page as many times as will fit using your spacing options. If there is boilerplate text, that probably is too large to allow any duplication.
One way to handle this is to put that text on a master page, apply the none master to the merge template page, create one instance of the label in the upper left position, and merge. Once the document is merged you apply the master with the text to all pages. That will give you 4 different labels per page.
If you want four copies of the sme label, copy the label block into the other three positions on the page and merge using one record per page. Under that scenario you can leave everything on the page instead of moving it to a master.

InDesign mail merge: changing the "record per page" function

I am a new InDesign user and having a problem that I have spent several days trying to correct. Briefly, we are “attempting” to create our product catalog by importing our QuickBooks data (as a csv or txt file).
I think I have isolated the problem to the “records per page” setup.
For whatever reason, when I open the .csv or .txt file (Window > Utility >Data Merge),
From the Data Merge Panel, I am selecting the source file and the “Create Merged Document” box starts.
However, ID is defaulting to one record per page. When I open the Multiple Record Layout tab I get “… optiion disabled because single record is selected…”
I have spent several days reading every post I could find on this and I am going brain dead. Can anyone help me here ?
Thanks in advance for your time and attention.

Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you for taking the time to put the video capture together. Unfortunately, it is hanging up about one-third of the way through...
What it does show is opening a clean sheet, opening Pages, and then opening Data Merge....
As you can see on the two screen shots below, I don't even get the Data Merge option on my Pages dialog...?
So, I'm wondering if I have a problem with my ID install or have some how corrupted a setup or default file.... Hmmmm
Thanks again, appreciate your help.

I re-installed ID - probably didn't need to do this - and deleted the cache and setup files which was the culprit. Now works perfectly .... go figure :-)

Mail merge in Pages using Address Book - problem with fields

I am a fan of using the many of the Mac OS, iLife and other Apple applications together and just purchased iWork '09. I'd never done mail merges in previous versions of Pages, but I decided to try today with my Address Book data. I stumbled across some problems related to Address Book that have bothered me for some time and wonder if there is a simple go-around. Many of the cards in my Address Book have more than one line in the street address field. For example, they have street and street number in one line and the apartment number in the second. When Pages encounters such vCards in my Address Book, it doesn't know what to do and skips the next line of the address, which includes city, state and zipcode. I have also altered my Address Book template to include such things as the person's college (as I work with lots of college students), but this field is not recognized in Pages' mail merge feature. So, if I put the college name at the beginning of the street field in Address Book (which is what I have done until today), I can get excellent mail labels to print from Address Book, but I now I realize that this causes the mail merge problems in Pages described above. If I list the college elsewhere in the vCard, such as under the guise of "department" (an accepted field for mail merge in Pages), I lose the ability to get accurate mail labels in Address Book. Any ideas?

Page's Mail Merge doesn't show up any "Custom" fields in its list?

New to Pages, mail merge help needed

OK, I tried to get some help a couple of days ago in the Numbers discussion pages but apparently the invoice I'm trying to create won't work. (At least, no one has replied to the other post.)
So I've given up on trying to create a usable Invoice in Numbers ('09) for my friend's graphic design business and am now trying to use the Invoice template in Pages ('09) instead.
I've managed to insert Mail Merge fields in the document and link them to a stand-alone Numbers document containing the client addresses. However, when we open the template to try and create a new invoice, the Pages>Edit>Mail Merge option only allows us to select the table containing the addresses, not individual addresses. The result is that Pages only imports the first person in from our database (the Numbers table).
If anyone out there can offer help - even if it's just to say "forget it, you're better off writing things out by hand" - I'd really appreciate it.
Another issue for the Invoice I'm trying to do in Pages is use the Inspector to create a Pop-up cell. Apparently, that is only an option in Numbers. But if I can get some help on the first issue, I figure something else out.
I won't bother posting a screenshot or anything unless someone really needs it. (Maybe that's why I didn't get help before...)

Thank you for the reply - the video was very helpful!

I can now get the Mail Merge to pull up separate pages in a document for everyone on the list.
I did some more checking on the MacMost site, but didn't find an answer for the next part of my problem:
Being able to select different people from the Numbers table before completing the Mail Merge. Since we haven't yet entered her full client list into the database, I can simply delete an invoice that doesn't apply from the resulting mail merged document. My worry is in having to do that once we have her full client list (about 200 names so far) in that database.
I've tried to see if it made sense to break the list into separate groupings, but even an alphabetical grouping (A-G, H--N, etc.) seems odd. I know I was able to make selections when I used Microsoft Word mail merge - do you know if Pages has something similar? (I know, Pages isn't meant to be an Apple clone of Word, but it's hard to know if I'm just looking in the wrong place on the forums and in the manuals/user guides.)
Thank you again!

HT1338 Mail Merge for Microsoft Word for Mac 2011

I am trying to do a mail merge on my Macbook, using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011. I get as far as choosing the data source, however, a pop-up appears saying, "Word was unable to open data source." I cannot get past this point. Help!!

Seeing as how Word is a Microsoft product, you might have a better chance of an answer on the Microsoft forum.

IPAD APP for mail merge ?

Hi all,
hope you can help...
We currently go out to clients and get the information for quotations. We come back enter information such as Client, address, name, price etc into MS Excel and then mailmerge it with a template within MS word. This produces the quote and we email the pdf across to customer.
Is there such an app for the IPAD that could do you same? I would like to pre enter the information I would know eg client, address etc... Then onsite type prices, this would then (then a templete) produce a quote which could be emailed before I leave.
Thanks in advance for advice.

Hey,
I know this is not a reply to your question but I just wanted to ask you about a problem I encountered while mail merging. The steps I follow: Create a mail merge in Microsoft Word using the necessary steps ( I am pretty sure that they are correct) and then press the Finish & Merge button. The messages are then in my configured Outlook's outbox. The problem is that they have been in the outbox for a whole night ad not even one message got sent.
Please reply if you kow the answer.
Thanks.

How can i do mail merge?

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.

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."

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?

Is it possible to combine a address list with a Pages document and a data base in Numbers, the equivalent of "Mail Merge" using Microsoft?

Is it possible to combine an address list with a Pages 5.1 document and a data base in Numbers 3.1, the equivelent of Microsoft "Mail Merge"?

It is possible in Pages 09 and Numbers 09 but not in the versions you name.

How do I add a dynamic hyperlink to an image in a CRM mail Merge?

We have a mail merge template that is being used by a number of our sales reps. The sales reps each have a unique URL they use to send out to potential customers. Their unique URL is saved on their User record in MSCRM. We want to
send out marketing pieces to prospects but we need the ability to dynamically add the user's hyperlink to an image on the mail merge (ex: an image saying "Click here") and cannot find a way to do this. Is this possible?

Hi,
This is not possible using OOTB CRM Marketing mail merge features for CRM 2013. However you can use 3rd party tools like Click Dimension for this Alternatively with MDM you are now able to use more advanced design features including what
you are trying to achieve.
