Add, change, or delete a source file in Pages on iPad

By default, merge field names are options from Contacts. To add custom merge field names, you can add a Numbers spreadsheet as a source file. You can also easily change the source file, choose a different table within the file, or remove the source file.

Add a spreadsheet as a source file

  1. Go to the Pages app on your iPad.

  2. Open a document with existing merge fields, tap the More button at the top of the screen, tap Mail Merge, then tap the Add button.

  3. Tap Add from Spreadsheet, then find the spreadsheet you want.

  4. If the spreadsheet contains multiple tables, tap Table, select the one you want, then tap Done.

The Add Merge Field list updates to the column headers from the selected table.

Change a source spreadsheet or table

  1. Go to the Pages app on your iPad.

  2. Open a document with existing merge fields, tap the More button at the top of the screen, then tap Mail Merge.

  3. Tap Merge, then do one of the following:

    • Change the source spreadsheet: Tap the existing file name, then choose a new spreadsheet.

    • Change the source table in the existing spreadsheet: Tap the current table name, then choose a new table.

    Mail Merge pane open, with options to choose sender information, change the source file or table, preview the merge field names, or merge the document.

Note: If you change the information in the source spreadsheet (update a name or add a new column, for example), you need to select the source again to see the changes reflected in Pages.

Remove a source file spreadsheet

  1. Go to the Pages app on your iPad.

  2. Open a document with existing merge fields, tap the More button at the top of the screen, tap Mail Merge, then tap the Add button.

  3. Tap the name of the current source spreadsheet, then tap Remove Spreadsheet.

    The Add Merge Field list reverts to the default options for Contacts.
