has anyone found a solution for the removal of the merge feature that used to be in Pages? I have contracts that I had created that used to input data from my Mac Contacts. Now I have to manually go and input each field. Frustrating!
1. Use Pages 09, which is probably still on your computer. To avoid mixups, be sure any documents tainted by Pages 5.1 are exported to {Pages 09 format. Then trash Pages 5.1 so you get defaults back to Pages 09.
2. Bite the bullet and use Word.
Pages 09 is not on my computer. Must have been deleted by me or the upgrade did it. Also, Word does not have what I need, since I used MERGE Fields in Pages to auto input specific fields from Mac Contacts.
The upgrade does not delete Pages '09, just moves it to the Applications/iWork folder.
Have you looked?
If you did actually delete it, we suggest you put it back.

You can get iwork 09 cheaply on Amazon. Pages 5.1 is a disaster: apart from its lack of features, it will eat your data, i.e., mess up your documents.
