Thanks for the solution. I guess it comes of expecting OpenOffice to be absolutely amazing, instead of mostly amazing! On Sat, 2009-12-19 at 02:44 +, fredm wrote: > Well, I guess this isn't really a bug -- just a lack of an expected > feature, -- Stephen -- OpenOffice Mail Merge Wizard doe

Well, I guess this isn't really a bug -- just a lack of an expected feature, and pretty useless help files. The bottom line is that you cannot directly mailmerge against a spreadsheet. Instead, you have to transform the spreadsheet into a database using the OO DB package. So, in order to solve t

Thanks Steve! Some more info from my side: I only "lost" openoffice.org-base after a clean install with Hardy. I have a different computer with Feisty installed and there the base package was installed with the rest of openoffice.org, as part of the default Ubuntu installation. -- OpenOffice

What is the reason for marking this invalid? Failing silently because of missing dependencies doesn't seem reasonable: It means new Ubuntu users who want to try out mail merge will not be able to do so. -- OpenOffice Mail Merge Wizard does not recognise new address list https://bugs.launchpad.n
