Yeah I should really. But not sure I have time to write it all down as another post now. Already behind on a PBX I need to set up.

Actually, I wouldn't mind helping you with this, and can post up an example of what I am talking about, but at this point the conversation should leave the bug tracker and move over ask.libreoffice.org site.

Essentially we have products with different logos that must be attached to them. The labels are just the last part of an auditable printing system I am trying to write. This is because it is to do with food stuffs and so duplicate labels should not be printed unless authorised by someone signing off on that. You don't want today's labels being places on yesterdays good for example. I thought at first it would be pretty easy to just generate a preview in a LO Base form and then print it straight from there, flagging the print as it went. But like I say Base reports are not so easy to work with and trying to constrict them to a concise layout where everything had to be in the same place every time is frustrating to say the least. Maybe if I carry on trying to work on it I can eventually get a template to work but at this stage starting to look like a massively more complex problem and I might need to resign myself to using webforms and php and accessing the DB directly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Well, in the past I used to print product labels on a single wide label printer for ceramics shipment. In that case it also had an image for scanning and text, what I did is used a base form, which is just a writer file and laid it up in print view. Feed the form from a query with results for the print run, walked down the result set, while print the form for each record.

Base reports don't allow page size restrictions in the same way that Documents does. That is to say I am trying to print out on an industrial label printer and it will not let me set zero margins nor let me make sure the text lines are x far apart to fit in constricted space. As it is not I have to print the Document as a PDF form and let people fill out what they need by hand before printing out.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118391 --- Comment #5 from Drew Jensen --- First, you aren't doing what you think you are doing, I think. As you saw mail merge fields do not include image fields. The two mail merge fields and the three individual image controls are not linked to each other in any way. The fact that the two types of items (fields and controls) are from the same datasource is of no relevance. If you want to do just what you want to do there is a totally different way to go. Create a report in Base. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
