Priority: medium
Bug ID: 76226
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: mail merge fields not working
Severity: blocker
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.5.3 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
ubuntu 12.04
I created a google spreadsheet and downloaded it as a CSV file.
I used that as the source of my mailmerge data (presumably using "base" is the
only way to use the CSV file, so that's what I did).
I then entered various Fields from this CSV file (now converted to a "base"
file by the mail merge wizard) into my Writer document for purposes of mail
merge. The end result mail merge post processed document has the field names,
no values. The original document with the fields, does not act as if it has
fields - in other words, it's just plain text, not the fields I inserted.
Example: I inserted "Sellers Aggregate1.Sheet1.Owner's Street Address" (a real
field) as a field into the doc, and instead of acting like a field, it acts
like normal text. Perhaps the spaces, periods, apostrophes and/or the length
of the field name are causing the problem??
This is a critical problem for me; I suppose I can try one of the fields
without spaces or apostrophes... and I guess I can edit the periods out of the
downloaded CSV file google creates and see if that helps, but even _IF_ it
works it's not a long term solution.
Thank you in advance.
