Met behulp van het programma Pages op de Mac kun je op diverse wijze MailMerge uitvoeren

MailMerge using Pages and Addresbook

MailMerge using Pages and Numbers

  • open Numbers and create a spreadsheet.
    • use one or more header columns. Pages needs header columns.
  • open Pages and create your letter.
  • connect Pages to the spreadsheet through the Merge tab under Pages' Link Inspector.
  • use the Choose button to connect to your Numbers document
    • use the dialog box to select the table from which you'd like to import the source data
  • To add merge fields, select the text in Pages that you'd like to replace with the content from your Numbers table, and in the Link Inspector select Add Merge Field from the pop-up list at the bottom of the window. (If you don't select the text Pages will write down the Merge Fieldname on the position of the cursor)
    • The target text and the merge field will be listed in the Link Inspector, and you can continue adding merge fields and target names throughout the document.
  • Once the link to the database has been set up and the relevant merge fields established, you only need to select Edit > Mail Merge and choose whether to send the merge to a printer or to a new document containing all the merged fields. As Pages lacks a preview mode, I'd recommend the latter option to check your merge has worked correctly.
