Having been on a pc before, I am looking to see how pages and numbers works for mail merge?
Mini mac, Mac OS X (10.4.7), Guessed the above answer
As you'd expect a spreadsheet, labelled with the appropriate header row, merges with matching fields in Pages.
However a better method is to use Address Book/Contacts.

You can download the Pages User Guide from you Pages Help menu and read more about mail merging in chapter 11.
There are also numerous thread deling with your question in this forum. Look in the More like This feild or do a Search
I called the help support line and was directed to the Pages help desk to create the document first, which I have done. The addressees are only on a spreadsheet and not in my contacts, it is to create around 350 4 invoices for a club every 4 months. I need to bring in their names and fees due only. Then will have to email the created documents.
i'll go to chapter 11.
You could add the lot to a Group in Address book, but the complication is no doubt the fees due which you will (hopefully) have calculated. Address Book could have the fees in a field but not do calculations on it.
Sounds to me like you should not be using a spreadsheet, WP combination to do this but have a proper Accounting package. All of this needs to be audited and maintained in a double entry book keeping appliaction. A spreadsheet is a bad fudge.

Added more questions as on page 248 in section 11 I can not see how to create merge fields within the pages document.
Thanks Peter, the main treasusure does all that, simple fees letter being issued by me. As you say word and excel is good, but I have moved on alas.
The previous assistant used word and excel with no issues.
Now finding the merge bit within pages.
I ran the books for a Ski Lodge and Scouts.
Duplicating effort is not just extra work but conducive to errors.
I don't know of any Accountancy applications that don't print out addressed invoices.
I rather like MoneyWorks.

trying to do a mail merge in pages version 5 HELP please😕 I see from other posts the Mail Merge function is lost with the update and like all on here NOT IMPRESSED.
SB62Surrey - Pages 5 doesn't have mail merge!!!! If you have Pages 09 use that instead. Pages 5 is not impressing at all. Lost over 90 features that Pages 09 has!
Final Cut Pro gone, Now using Premier Pro, then Aperture 3 left behind, now using Lightroom 4, now no mail merge with Pages 5, my love affair with Apple is fading...
How do i do mail merge with pages and numbers?
