I have been waiting for this new version to do mail merge with OO.o
because of the way 1.1 saves each letter to a different file. (I have on
merge I do of 60+ letters, so this is just too unwieldy). So I have leapt
at the chance to try mail merge in 2.0 which has the facility to save to a
single file (like Word 97 does). However, I cannot say I am impressed
by what I have found. I gather from the mail merge specification that
the new Mail Merge Wizard is meant to follow the wiizard in Word
2002/3. If that is so, that is a bad move. MS have an unfortunate
knack of introducing features to make things easy for simple folk who
do simple things while making life very difficult for those who want to do
something else, which may still be simple, but isn't what the wizard
does.
Before I sound off on all the problems I have found, let me ask if this is
the correct list to do it on. I really need to discuss my ideas of what is
wrong and find out to what extent things could be changed at this rather
late stage of development.
