Rainer Bielefeld <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version|4.1.0-beta |OOo 3.3 or older Summary|merge only selected pages |form letter print dialog: |of a text document |Pages range related to | |target document instead of | |source document. --- Comment #14 from Rainer Bielefeld <[email protected]> --- Well, I think I have got it. I compared proceeding OOo 3.1.1 and AOo 4.1.0, a) User scenario: User has all 50 Pages of 40 letters of correspondence in 1 document.odt. Now he wants to send the new letter on page 51 to 4 recipients. So he has to print a form letter only page 51 to 4 records of the database (b) My test comparing * OOo 3.1.1, "old" print dialog without preview * AOo 4.1.0, new print dialog with print preview for details see spreadsheet StepByStep.ods in attached test kit. (c) Summary of my result: (c1) In OOo 3.1.1 Pages range entry in Print dialog for form letter print is related to source document. Page or pages listed in 'Print Range - Pages' will be printed for each recipient (c2) In OOo 4.1.0 'Pages Range' entry in Print dialog for form letter print is related to TARGET document. In user scenario shows "1 - 203", 203 is 50 pages source document multiplied with 4 recipients + 3 automatically inserted blank pages. (d) My test With a simple 3 pages document with Bibliography database as "address source"tried to do a print of source document page 2 to 2 recipients. (d1) With 3.1.1 that is simple, in form letter Print I simply type "2" into source document related 'Print Range - Pages', and Page 2 of source document will be printed for each recipient. (d2) With 4.1.0 that is difficult. Into Target document related 'Print Range -Pages' U have to type 2,6: * "2," Page 2 of target document for first recipient * "6": Because in target document all source pages will be printed, for recipient 1 4 pages will be created, 1-3 source document + blank page automatically inserted. So page 2 source document for second recipient will be target document page 6 (d3) d2 is unreasonable (e) Problem appeared with new print dialog with print preview, if I remember correctly that has been introduced with OOo 3.3.0 (f) I am pretty sure that I already submitted an enhancement request for a similar problem in Mail Merge Wizard, I will search for it. @mroe: Do my comments describe your problem? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
