Pages business cards - How do I change all cards at once?

I'm new to Pages and trying out one of the business card layouts. How can I make changes to one business card so that it is then populated in all of them? Or do I have to cut and paste the info in each card?

Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Each card is an individual item.


Construct the new card in the top left space.

Group the elements of the new card.

Select the grouped object.

Command-D (Duplicate) three times for an eight card page, 4 times for a ten card page.

Position the most recent duplicate in the bottom left space.

Select all 4 (or 5).

Go Arrange > Align Objects > Left'

Go Arrange > Distribute Objects > Vertically.

With all four (five) objects still selected:

Duplicate (once)

Click and drag the selected objects to the right column. Use the blue alignment guides to drop them in the correct vertical alignment.

Use the arrow keys to nudge the cards into their final position.


Less cmplicated than it looks in the list.

Barry
