mroe <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|CONFIRMED |RESOLVED CC| |[email protected] Resolution|--- |NOT_AN_ISSUE --- Comment #6 from mroe <[email protected]> --- This is a feature since the data browser exists, not a bug. A data row has a defined number of fields (columns). So D&D a row into a Writer document it asks you, how to insert the selected rows. But a column have so many entries how the database have rows. Hundreds? Thousands? But apart from that you can feel free to insert the whole table (all rows) and select in the "Insert Database Rows" dialog window only the column(s) that you want. D&D a column insert a mail merge field, so it is easy to create mail merge letters. This worked long before the mail merge wizard was introduced. And this feature was documented but now I can't find anything about this in the help. So imagine that you create a mail merge (template) by dragging columns into the document, and you fill the document by dragging the right row. Because of this I change the status. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue. You are the assignee for the issue. You are watching all issue changes.
