However, somehow I have made a complete pigs ear with a subsequent sort, and for the life of me I cannot remember the three fields on which I chose to sort, and the Salutation field is now not aligned with the correct surname. For example, the customer name is Faye Abel and the Salutation should be Dear Faye. However it is Dear Marion! My question is, apart from completely retyping the correct Salutation, is there any sort method by which i can have the correct salutation aligned with the correct surname? Zed Your mail merge is based on a database document which reads the csv files for any text or spreadsheet document. You can use the database interface in the data source window (F4) or mail merge dialog for sorting, filtering and/or picking manually selected row sets. You can also define fixed sort orders and/or filters by means of queries. A query derives a virtual table where the original table data can be shown in any order of rows and columns. Queries are stored in the database and they can be used in the same way the original tables. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-users] Font display in LibreOffice documents
Hello, being an extensive user of LibO rather than iWorks or MSO on my Mac (OS X 10.6.6), the (only) one thing that tempers delight is the blurred unsharp display of text in documents. Currently, I am writing rather long reports for my work, and I employed Latin Modern Roman (version 2 or so) 11pt as the main document text. (I was playing around with many more fonts, just to mention.) However, whatever font size, document zoom or user interface zoom I use, the only one usable fonts are the ones from the DejaVue font family -- yet, also here the display is far away from a clean sharp display as I can find in Pages or MSW. I was just wondering whether there is upcoming development on that issue (obviously only a Mac one), or if there is simple tricks to make fonts display clear, sharp, and reader-friendly.

A roadblock here... The Latin-Modern fonts are Postscript, and I don't know how to handle them on a Mac. In my Windows days, it wouldn't be a problem. Any idea how to deal with it to save me some time in Googling all over the world? :-) The Deja-Vu is something else all together. :-( I've downloaded both the zip and tar.bz2 files, and get nowhere. Attempting to open them just takes me in some kind of loop from one compressed file format to another and back. Even tried opening the zip file in Windows using WinRAR, and it says the compressed file has nothing in it. Any thoughts? I thought the Latin-Modern to select should be the OTF fonts. 72 of them. These should install to the mac in one of 2 ways. http://www.myfonts.com/support/help_install_mac.html http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/how-to-install-fonts-in-os-x/ Two things, I didn't remember that OTF stood for Open Type Fonts, and I didn't know that OS X supported OTF and Postscript fonts. But I did know that System 9 could be used, so it was my assumption that Postscript was the format I needed to install. It's been over 10 years since I actively dealt with different font formats. I just went with whatever fonts were installed on my system. I'll try those out tomorrow afternoon. My interest in really digging into a particular OS to find out what can actually be done with an OS has been dormant for a number of years. I just wanted to turn the darn thing on and use it with no problems. But of late, I've burned a couple Linux Live CD's to see what that hullabaloo is all about, the the visual appearance of some of them have resparked that interest! :-) I like to actually use a computer, I really could care less about the programming and hardware end of the package. I just downloaded *2.33/dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.33.zip http://sourceforge.net/projects/dejavu/files/dejavu/2.33/dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.33.zip *from the link, unzipped it and the fonts were there*. steve * I found the problem, although I have no explanation as to why this happens. And... I've never had it happen before... A lot of pages/links for downloading end up opening a blank tab in your browser when you left click on it. So, by habit at my end, I right click and select Save Link As so I don't end up with an Untitled and empty tab. And I end up with the screwed up zip file. I even tried it again after reading your post. FF 3.6.16, haven't taken the FF 4 plunge yet. But...
