Section Breaks, frustration and general madness

Thanks for the help.
I knew about the Layout break - what I wanted was a workaround for a problem with Merge - which will only personalize a whole page - so if I attempt labels I get a whole page of the same label rather than 20 different labels!
I thought that if I could use a section break, I might be able to force a new label (because Merge in Pages has no way of specifying <next record>!
The Layout break still gives me a whole page of the same label.
I posted my question regarding the creating of a page of mailing labels (from a set of different records - Yvan has developed a way using Applescript) - but this is clearly a function I will have to continue to use Word for. Perhaps the ability to specify records will be in the next iteration of Pages.

I had a similar problem earlier in the year, I was moving house and wanted to attach my mew address on the reverse of the christmas cards we were sending.

What need for a link to an address list to do that?
A powerHammer is not the best tool to kill a fly.

A simple Pages document in which we drop a vcard is perfectly sufficient.

Is it useful to tell you that the chapter 11 of the Pages User Guide is entitled:
*Personalizing Documents with Address Book and Numbers Data* ?

It gives all the required informations required to do what you are asking about !
Here is a short excerpt:

*To insert sender data:*
• Open a document that contains sender fields, such as a letter template. Pages automatically inserts data from your My Card in Address Book into the fields. If the card doesn’t contain data for any of the sender fields, the field label continues to be displayed.
• If you want to use data other than the data on your My Card as sender field data, drag an Address Book card or vCard to a sender field in the document. The new card’s data is applied to all sender fields in the document.
• Numbers document data cannot be used for Sender information.

It seems that I understood wrongly what you where attempting to mean when you wrote:

easy when you know how....

Maybe due to my old scholar English 😟
