Problem Merging Numbers data with Pages 09 (OS X Mavericks)

Hello!

I have a problem with merging data within Numbers and Pages after upgrading to OS X Mavericks.

No problems at all before that.

I opened an old Pages document that was merging few data from a Numbers table.

I tried to insert a new field (corresponding to a new column label in Numbers), but I could not merge the right destination field, because Pages can only see the first label of the Numbers table.

Thank you all for any help (sorry for my italian English)

If you are using the new Pages 5.0 is mergin not supported anymore. Or do you have a problem with Pages 0 on Mavericks?

I am using Pages '09 and I have the problem with Mavericks.

Are you sure that merging is not supported by Pages 5.0? It's a very bad news for me; I have a lot of documents that merge data from Numbers.

Thanks

Mail merge is just one of the many, many features that have been eliminated or changed. There's nothing to help with since the ability isn't there in any way, shape or forum. The best I can suggest is to go back to Pages 4.3. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu.

Try mail mergin in another user account on Mavericks. You can create a new account in the system preferences > Accounts (or similar). If it works in the new account it is prbably a plist file not working. If it still is a problem it might be Mavericks not allowing mail merge.
