Label Templates

Hi Alex

J8160 is a Avery a4 size not US letter size. There is also a 8160 which is a US size. Perhaps Avery.uk might have it in Word. If you have Openoffice you can get a template http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/openoffice-a4.htm

Hope that helps

Pages can only mail merge with Address Book & then only one contact per page. Feedback needs to be given to both the Pages team & the Numbers team to hope to get merge capabilities between Pages & Numbers added in an update or the next versions.

I have been trying to do this today. I created a page with only a table and adjusted columns / footers / page margins until it matched the labels.

Now, I can mail merge a whole sheet, each sheet with one address, but can not get 1 page of different addresses... possibly can't be done? I found no pre made templates - would have been a useful addition.

I was only doing this to get round the envelope template not working with my printer options for the way it loads envelopes. It seems to want them fed in landscape - when i select portrait (how the printer takes them), the whole template flips and screws the mail merge.

Hello,
I am in the same situation, and I think we have three options:
1- buy MS office.
2-Wait for either Apple or one kind Mac Genius to make a script to make custom labels templates.
3- waste 50 sheets of labels to make your own template.

Personally, I have wasted about 30 sheets and came up with a template that is about 70% adequate and then I gave up. I think if no one makes up a script by next February, I will just buy MS office 2008!!!
Good luck!

What I have done to TRY to solve this was to create a label using the "FREE" NeoOffice for Mac, create the label there... it was faster, better and FREE. I TOO want to have Pages as my ONLY wordprocessor as I don't need ALL those EXTRA features. I think that it wouldn't be sooo hard to include the ability to create labels for mailmerge OR have the ability to import templates/labels from other programs OR allow the creation of labels by using Tables BUT have them have the ability to use a 'gutter' margin and/or cell padding!! THIS would be an easy way to do it!

...Hopefully there will be an update to include some of these options. Word stinks and is a memory/resource hog, just try to have Excel AND Word open at the same time and copy and paste from one to the other. Especially slower IF you are using parallels (copying from Access and pasting to mac word).

Alex, I went into word and clicked on the details on for your label and created a screen capture of the details it can be found here http://myskitch.com/paulconaway/addressj8160information-20070929-164356.png. I would think you would be able to build a pages document that matches what you need with this information.

I was able to find my template - 8660. Now I would like to do a mail merge from a spreadsheet in numbers... I have no idea how to do this!!

I could do it in office super easily but works does not seem to have this option.

Please help.

Thanks.
