------- Additional comments from michaelrei...@openoffice.org Wed Sep 29 11:04:51 +0000 2010 ------- The aim is to create labels with mail merge. The Name and the Institution are not on the same line. See attached files. I use the italian Version of OpenOffice so I'm not sure how the commands are exactly called in english. Create a Calc spreadsheet (test.ods). Create a Write document (label.odt) that makes labels (italian: etichette) based on the above spreadsheet. This is done the following way: - copy the Write document from an existing one that already does a mail merge with a similar spreadsheet (same columns but different data) - create a Base database (test.odb) linked to the spreadsheet with "guided procedures" (italian: procedure guidate) - link to new database with modify, change database (italian: modifica, scambia database), database = test - mail merge with file, print (italian: file, stampa), print to file In the result you will see that the Institution is not correct in the mail merge. The first label shows the name of the first row, but the institution of the second row and so forth. This only happens for labels, not normal mail merges. This does not happen if you create a new document of the type "Label" (italian: etichette) instead of copying the document. But this means you must rebuild the graphics and formatting every time. In some cases (less spreadsheet columns, less data, ...?) it works fine the same. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
