https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53550 Timur changed: What|Removed |Added Status|NEW |RESOLVED CC||gti...@gmail.com, ||philip...@hotmail.com, ||tietze.he...@gmail.com Resolution|--- |NOTABUG --- Comment #4 from Timur --- Brenda gave and explanation for the reported problem: use View -> Data Sources, or press F4. This was confirmed as enhancement but without clearly defining aim. At least, title "Make mailmerge steps more accessible" is not sufficient. We have "Expected behavior: Database fields ought to be available immediately in the Fields submenu of the Insert menu." I don't think is feasible to have it in Fields submenu. Even in Insert menu, that would save a single click, but I wouldn't use it myself for Mailmerge, beside Data Sources. For the sake of efficiency, since there was no responses before, I'll close this as NotaBug. If you object, please respond with exact expectations. In case I'm wrong, I add other colleagues to CC for a review. -- 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

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53550 --- Comment #3 from Adolfo Jayme --- In LibreOffice 5.2 we reworked mail merge and reduced the amount of steps needed. You might want to download a daily build [1], play with it, and report back.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53550 Brenda Granados changed: What|Removed |Added Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Severity|normal |enhancement Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #1 from Brenda Granados --- Hi. If you already have a database with the fields you need, there is another way. After you open a file in Writer, go to View -> Data Sources, or press F4. Then, in the left-hand side of the new window that opens above your document, select your database table. The table will open on the right. You can drag and drop the field names onto your document. But I do see what you are saying about accessing the fields through Insert -> Fields... Other. I think it is fairly easy to use one database, but if the user needs to pull in from several databases, either option would be a lot of clicks. I will set the status of this as a new ENHANCEMENT request. Thank you for submitting this report!
