------- Additional comments from [email protected] Mon Mar 23 10:02:49 +0000 2009 ------- If it does, the field appears "empty" (i.e. "<>") in the document produced with the procedure for creating a label file. I presume this has something to do with the fact that the dot is used as separator (filename.sheet.column_header). If column_header was column.header, OOo would probably look for a column header named "column" (ignoring ".header", I suppose). The result is that the column isn't found in the data source The strange is that: filename.sheet.1.column_header works, although the sheet name contains a dot, so this issue seems to affect only column headers/field names containing a "." character (in the tests I've made, always at the end of the column header name, i.e. "string.") Steps to reproduce: 1- register a new address data source (using the italian version, don't know exact terms) using the appended calc file, assigning field "Ragione Sociale." to "Company Name", and "Indirizzo" to "Address"; 2- create a labels file (following these steps: http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/2006/02/mail_merge_labe.html), putting the two fields on two rows 3- the file created has, in every label, something like: <> <Indirizzo> instead of <Ragione Sociale.> <Indirizzo> Don't know if this issue has something to do with #97667 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
