    Hi folks, i'm a newbie to the world of a mac after a nervous breakdown (thank you VISTA !)

    Can anyone give me a few tips on how to import addresses from my address book into documents created through "PAGES".

    To put it simply, one document created but with multiple recipients.

    thanks in advance,

    Ernie

    I've no experience with mail merging, but things that I'd look into if I was trying to get going with it:

    Address Book can export all its addresses to a file with a .abbu extension - is PAGES able to use that, or can any third app convert the .abbu file to something that PAGES can use?

    This applies to Pages 08 but it should be a similar process in 09:

    Put the cursor where you want the field to be. Open the inspector palate. Click on the 'link inspector' button (blue arrow, second from right). Check the box that says 'Enable as an Address Book field.' Select the type of field you want and the corresponding address book field you want to merge in. Repeat for each field you want.

    Open Address Book. Select the cards you want to merge in. Drag and drop them onto your Pages document. In the dialogue box that opens, select 'New Document.' Hey presto :)
