Mail merge is taking forever

Hi Lizmattphilly, We appreciate you reaching out to us.

Does it help if you restart your device?

If no, let’s test if the issue persists on a newly created user account. 

The article below can guide you on how to create a new user account.

Change Users & Groups settings on Mac

If you are experiencing the issue when signed in on a different user account, please check if the issue persists while on safe mode.

Performing this step may help resolve the issue, or further isolate the issue.

Below is an article to help guide you through the process.

How to use safe mode on your Mac

If the issue persists in safe mode, please provide us with more details about the issue.

We understand that you mentioned that it is taking forever, is it taking a long time to complete the process or does it seem like Pages and Numbers are not responding?

Take care!

Pages is not a Word clone. Each application does Mail merge as it was designed, and if time is important to you, then use Word, not Pages.
