------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Apr 18 18:47:38 +0000 2008 ------- steps to reproduce: - create a new text file - insert a section, make it 2 columns - insert text to columns - below section: - insert other text - insert data fields (does not matter where from, in my case a simple csv (attachment 2) with only one row after headings suffices) - save (attatchment 1) - choose print - a dialog pops up, saying doc has mail merge fields, choose yes to merge - select: all, save merged document to single file, ok - open merged document expected: layout should be preserved, double column section in every merged page found: your section is gone (but its contents is there), the whole document is single column (attachment 3) I noticed this behaviour already with 2.3.0 and 2.3.1, maybe earlier workaround is: save to multiple documents: layout / section kept print directly: layout ok very unhandy if merging a big number of datasets and wanting to review / edit the merged documents before printing --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
