At the very least it is great not feeling alone in this kind of situation. Could you please give me a link that would tell me the fastest way to get a development environment running for LibreOffice? While I am by no mean a C++ wizard, I may have no choice but to become one fairly rapidly... To make a long story short I sort of bet the farm on the fact that I would be able to use LibreOffice's Mail Merge as i assumed it was an old feature that would be stable and battle-tested by now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
