Hello Mikadi,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I see where you want to insert addresses from your Contacts list into a Pages document. Take a look at this article and see if this meets your needs.

You of course do not have Pages '09, the prior version which has over 100 features missing in Pages 5.5.2, and are on Yosemite so that is not going to work.

Pages 5.5.2 can be made to do some merge using AppleScript which is a bit cumbersome and requires some knowledge and effort on your part.

You can buy iWork '09 from Amazon for less than US$20 and install that so long as you upgrade it to v4.3 to work with Yosemite. Apple has however caused problems with interaction between Apps on Yosemite so it may not work as expected. It works on my Yosemite System but I arrived at mine through a direct upgrade from Snow Leopard and still have Address Book which the merge seeks.
