trying to make some labels and documents (directory list) from a numbers list of contacts.

I figured out how to make insert the Merge fields from the numbers document. But it keeps giving me the same person in all my fields and won't automatically create the next lable/listed person. Much as I hate to say this; this was WAY easier in Windows. Not that I would ever go back to that poisonous system...

But PLEASE HELP. I have a deadline.

Apple TV, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Numbers is perfectly able to do what you ask for.

Do your duty :

study the chapter #11 of Pages User Guide which is dedicated to this task.

Here you may see it at work :

In cells of column 7 the formula calculating the full address is :

=IF(ISBLANK(A),"",A&" ")&IF(ISBLANK(B),"",B&" ")&IF(ISBLANK(C),"",CHAR(8232)&C&" ")&IF(ISBLANK(D),"",CHAR(8232)&D&" ")&CHAR(8232)&IF(ISBLANK(E),"",E&" ")&IF(ISBLANK(F),"",F&" ")
