Unable to find the mail merge option in Pages 5.0

Asked By James K Peltier 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/10/2014

Hi all,

I am having MacBook Air (13 inch) with OS X version Mavericks (10.9) and it is all working fine.

I am trying to do a mail merge, but it looks like Pages 5.0 is not supporting mail merge any more. I am not able to find any way to link to the contacts. I am not sure how can I use the Numbers Document for adding addresses to do mail merge. I have looked into all the options provided in the application, but I couldn't find any option.

Is this feature available or not? I thought that it will definitely have mail merge as it is a word processor. Am I missing something here? Please kindly advise.

Unable to find the mail merge option in Pages 5.0

Apple has removed the functionality of merging mails when writing using the Pages 5.0 version.

There is not other way to do a mail merge in the Pages 5.0 version because it has been downgraded along with other prior functions. The only way to resolve this issue is by using an older version before the 5.0 came out. For example, the Pages 4.3 version still supports mail merging and any other Pages version. 

You can search in the Applications folder for other Pages versions prior to the latest release, or you can install the iWork 09 bundle and use that to be able to mail merge again.

You can download an older version of the iWork bundle at this website. There isn't any other way, but you can wait for Apple to release an update for the current iWork bundle that will include the Merge Mail option.
