Personalizing Documents with Address Book Data

Inserting Recipient Data for Address Book Groups

You can personalize a document for multiple recipients by using an Address Book
group.

To insert recipient data for all contacts in an Address Book group:

1

Open a document that contains recipient fields.

2

Choose Edit > Merge Address Book Cards, then choose a group or All from the pop-up
menu.

You can also select a group or All in Address Book and drag it to a recipient field in the
document.

3

In the dialog that appears, choose New Document from the pop-up menu to create a
new document that contains a section for each contact in the group. Otherwise,
choose “Send to printer” from the pop-up menu to print a personalized copy of the
document for each contact in the group.

If you don’t wish to have missing contact information substituted (for example, a work
address for a home address), deselect the checkbox.

The original document is not affected by the merge. You can reuse the document for
additional merges as required.

cards.
