How Do I Do a Mail Merge with Apple Pages

The ability to transmit the same message or document to several recipients at once is made possible by the mail merge feature, which is included in the vast majority of data processing programs, including Apple Pages. It makes it possible to connect a single form template to a data source that has details such as the recipient’s name, address, and other supported and preset data, and here’s how to take advantage of the new feature that has not been available on Apple Pages for almost a decade.

• Step 1: Open a Pages Template

  

  On the Mac, launch Pages and select a template to use, such as the Letter format. After that, select the Document icon from the menu.

• Step 2: Select Mail Merge

  

  Mail Merge should be selected when you reach the bottom of the page. The next step is to select Merge, which should be located near the top of the new window that has appeared.

• Step 3: Either choose Contacts or Spreadsheet

  When you go to Contacts, you will have the option to choose a group. If you select Spreadsheet, you will then be prompted to locate that file.

• Step 4: Click Preview

  Simply clicking on the Preview button will allow you to glimpse what the outcome would look like. Check to see that all of the important details are accurate and that nothing has been left out of the description. You could go back and make any necessary edits if you overlooked anything.

• Step 5: Click Merge

  Mail merging is slow, even on Silicon Macs. You’ll see the progress count run through all your contacts, but then it will freeze. After a few seconds, your one-page Pages message may be hundreds of pages long, but each letter page has different information.
