fusion contacts info

Hi Steve,

With Numbers 4.3 (the latest incarnation) you can drag and drop one or more selected contacts from Contacts into a spreadsheet and it will automatically import and tabulate every field in quite an effective manner:

In Pages 6.3 (again the latest incarnation) the results when dragging and dropping from Contacts into a table are less than satisfactory:

For more precise import (of selected fields or into a custom table) then AppleScript would probably be the best solution.

EDIT: you can also create a table in Pages (6.3) or Numbers (4.3) with the field names you want to import in the header row. As long as these precisely match the field names in Contacts, just this data will be imported when you drag and drop:

But this is not a mail merge.

Cheers,

H

You mean you want to Merge Contact details into documents.

This is possible in Pages '09 and Numbers '09, you have not said what you are using.

In the latest versions there is an AppleScript on this site to do it for you with habit of fiddling.
