Tutor for Pages Data Merges in Pages Preparing a Pages Document for a Data Merge

Learn how to prepare your Pages document for merging data on the Mac

In this lesson for Pages on the Mac, I show you how to prepare a Pages document for data merges. You first need to define text as a placeholder in Pages, then you need to define the field name. I show you this by first creating an envelope document in Pages and how to prepare it for a data merge, and then I show you an estimate document in Pages that is all set for a data merge. See how to prepare your Pages document for data merges in this lesson for Pages on the Mac.
