------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jan 26 13:33:09 -0800 2005 ------- In Mail Merge Wizard step 4, i) The preview pane at the bottom sees to show both Dear Mr X and Dear Mrs X, regardless of what the value should be. It prints the correct one later on when the letters are generated, but the preview is wrong. It does this even when "Enter personalized salutation" is deselected. The thing is, it will *always* be wrong to have both the male and female : the real letter is always going to need one or the other and surely the preview should show what will actually end up on the letter. ii) By the Female and Male salutation boxes are "New" buttons to create custom salutations. The custom salutation dialog is poor. The obvious thing I want to do is type in free text. For example, I might want the female salutation to be "Hi Babe" or "Hi there, Mrs <Name>". I can't see any way to type in text in the dialog, only positioning fields from the data source. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
