------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 7 19:58:28 -0800 2005 ------- Tested fix on fresh XP SP 2 install. Clarifying the procedure: 1. Install Openoffice.org 2 2. Install Sun Java JRE http://www.java.com 3. Install JavaMail http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/ - i.e. extract the archive file and append a path to mail.jar in your CLASSPATH environment variable. (XP: Control Panel - System - Advanced - Environment Variables.) 4. Install Java Activation Framework http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html - i.e. extract the archive file and append a path to mail.jar in your CLASSPATH environment variable. (XP: Control Panel - System - Advanced - Environment Variables.) 5. Install mailmerge.py. Instructions for linux are commented in script. For XP: 5.1. Copy mailmerge.py into OpenOffice /program/ subfolder. 5.2. Using Command Prompt, change directory to OpenOffice /program/ subfolder and type "unopkg add --shared mailmerge.py". 6. Enable mail merge to email in Writer. 6.1. (XP) Change Folder Options in Windows Explorer to show hidden folders and extensions for known file types. Writer's config file is in a hidden folder. 6.2. Run Writer, start and then cancel the mail merge wizard. This generates the attributes in Writer's config file that you will need to change later. 6.3. Edit "Writer.xcu" in notepad or wordpad. On XP, its path is like: C:\Documents and Settings\My Username\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2 \user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Writer.xcu 6.3.1. Find: <prop oor:name="EMailSupported" oor:type="xs:boolean"> <value>false</value> </prop> 6.3.2. Change 'false' to 'true' Merge to email should now work. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
