I am running Pages 5.5.2 - whenever I create a new file based on a stationary template (letter, envelope, etc.) Pages enters the default "Urna Semper" address info. I would like the address info to my own. I've checked my contacts and I do have my information entered correctly under "My Card". Why won't Pages pull this info over? Thanks in advance!
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
Pages '09 v4.3 works on Yosemite. Have and use it myself.
If you still have the iWork '09 DVD, you would apply the Apple iWork 9.3 updater immediately after the DVD install, and make the iWork '09 applications compatible with Yosemite. It is not however, a long term solution for where Apple is heading with word processing.👿
Make your own custom template(s) with your own contact information, and organization within them. Start with the provided Pages template, update the desired content in the new document based on that template, and then from the File menu, select Save as Template… and place your own customized version back in the My Templates category of the Templates chooser for future use.
Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite does not offer built-in mail data, or contact merge.

I don't know about that one, but you need to be aware that there a dozens of things which Pages 4 could do which Pages 5 cannot do. So many that Pages 4 remains the app of choice for many users.
Thanks for the reply Viking. Yes, I came up with that same workaround. But unless I am going crazy I could swear that a prior version of Pages would auto populate these fields from Contacts.
Replace Urna Semper
