------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 14 13:48:52 +0000 2007 ------- ->hvedk: The issue is set to WONTFIX because it cannot be fixed in a sensible way without either breaking something else (like the page number and the duplex printing) or by implementing a different left/right page behaviour of the Writer. The mail merge just cannot do miracles. ->crxssi: You probably didn't understand my explanation. So here it comes in a short form. - Each resulting document part has to start with page number 1. Otherwise f.e. page number fields would be wrong. - Each page with an odd number is a right page. In a Writer document blank pages are inserted if and odd page follows and odd page or an even page follow an even page. Printing of such blank pages can be suppressed using tools/options/Writer/Print/Print automatically inserted blank pages. There's currently no such options for PDF export. - The page number field in the status bar shows the current page number and the number of pages. If the page number is set manually via Insert/Break/Page break with Style and Change page number (or the related setting in Format/Paragraph) then it also shows the index of the page. This is not related to mail merge. - It is not necessarily possible to detect if a printer is duplex or not. This information is not accessible on all platforms (if on any at all) that are supported from OOo. - If you don't want to use a wizard then use the mail merge dialog that can be configured under tools/customize under Documents/Mail merge. This either prints directly or saves a single file (with the same page issue) or multiple files. The typical use case that I know about is to mail merge a letter to a list of persons either as printouts or as e-Mail. What is the use case of exporting a mail merged document to a PDF-file? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
