Adding Address Book Data

Many of the Pages templates, such as letters and envelopes, include Address Book

fields that let you personalize documents using contact information you store in

Address Book.

There are two kinds of Address Book fields: sender fields and recipient fields. Sender

fields display information about a document’s distributor, such as a company or

personal name; sender fields are automatically replaced with any available data from

your My Card in Address Book. Recipient fields display information for a person who

will receive the document.

To insert recipient data for one contact:

1

Open a document template that contains recipient fields.

2

Select the contact’s Address Book card and drag it to a recipient field. The card’s data

appears in all recipient fields in the document.

3

Save or print the document if desired.

4

To reuse the document with another contact’s data, select another card and drag it to

a recipient field. The new data replaces the recipient data inserted in step 2.

Chapter 10, “Personalizing Documents With Address Book Data,” on page 219 provides

instructions for working with Address Book data, including using Address Book groups

to personalize a document for multiple recipients in a single pass.

Importing Files Into Your Pages Document

In your Pages document, you can incorporate documents and media files that were

created using other applications.

To import a document:

m

Drag a document created using Microsoft Word or AppleWorks to the Pages

application icon. A new Pages document opens, and the contents of the imported

document are displayed.
