------- Additional comments from johnefor...@openoffice.org Sat Jan 8 21:48:20 +0000 2011 ------- Having created several dbf files (and corresponding ods tables), I am trying to create & print labels. These have been configured OK. The Help screens indicate that: "5. Optionally, if you want to type more text, apply formatting, or insert images and line art, you should enable Synchronise contents on the Options tab. If you enable this, once you leave the Labels dialogue box a small window opens with a Synchronise button. Now you only need to work on the first label on the labels document, then click the Synchronise button to copy your work to every label of the document. 2. Click New Document." Besides seeing no facility for "working on the first label" this brings up the (page of) labels with fields showing OK. However when trying to print (to file or printer) the Mail Merge screen window (on left) does not show the databases recently created, only old databases. Also, in the first Field column (Update_201, apparently a database field) has boxes, sometimes colored blue, sometimes with a check mark. Perhaps I can ignore this field column? In summary, the Help Screens do not appear to agree with the activity screens described and vitally, I cannot find the database (which I know is there and from which my label creation attempt started) in the Mail Merge screen. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
