Good morning Ian,
This has been the problem from the time they started messing around with Pages.
MS word was the answer for a while but it really does look like this may be
coming to an end and I hope that I am rong. But I am trying to get ahead of
the curve. I think that we have look at the choices you gave but they look
like a bunch of problems. I will let you know what we come up with if anything.

I’ve never quite understood how removing features makes things better, like
we used to have built in mail merge and booklet creation, but now we don’t,
but this is an improvement.
Anyways, Keith what type of mail merge are you looking to do with a word
processor? It looks like there are solutions for specific tasks, like
envelopes and labels. For personalized form letters in Iwork Pages where the
recipients’ names and addresses are filled in from a data base or spreadsheet
they’re suggesting scripting and automation. This reminds me a bit of using
an old word processer for DOS where you typed in placeholder codes and the
document was populated from your associated database.
Looking forward to any solutions you come up with, I’d love to be able to
send out newsletters with personalized names and addresses automatically
filled in.
Cheers,
Ian

Thanks my friend,
My wife who is our secretary was using MS word but then they went internet
only and neither one of us is comfortable with that and pages no longer
supports Male merge and we need that.
I think I am going to poke around a little while longer. Some years ago I
used this app even translated braille with it. Maybe I am just missing
something.
Thanks again CJ.

Keith,
My results were the same as Johns. Actually, worse now that I think about
it, because it was pretty much inaccessible. Have you considered Pages?
Johnathan Mosen has a complete audio tutorial on his site for…maybe…$35?
I’m not a hundred percent certain about the tutorial’s price. But, I do
remember, when I bought my tutorial on Amadeus about a month ago, it was a
temptation. Anyway, just a thought & best of luck.
Blessings,
CJ

Hi folks,
I used Libre office writer some years ago and it went quite well however
I am trying it again and I don’t seem to be able to read text. Is any
one using this app? If so, what has changed and what is the secret?
Thanks.
