I am an experienced Pages user, and use mail merge every day in very complex and unusual ways. I have one requirement however, an important business need, that I cannot figure out. So, here's hoping one of you wizards out there has an answer! I want the resulting document from the merge to contain multiple kinds of pages, determined by the content of the Numbers table. For example, say I have a primary document consisting of pages A, B, and C, each of which contains merge fields. I would like to create a resulting merged document in which the pages occur (or don't occur) based on the content of the Numbers table. For one Numbers table, the pages in the resulting document might look like this:
A,A,A,A,B,B,A,A,A,A,B,A,A,A,C,C,C...
Another might look like this
A,A,A,B,A,A,A,A,B,A,A,A,A,B,A,A,A...
or perhaps
B,B,B,B,B,B....

Any way do this, i.e. to decide which pages to output to the resulting document based on the Numbers table? If you have a solution, thank you, thank you, thank you!
