Hi,
First, thanks a lot for this good and usefull software !
Two years ago we completely switched from Microsoft Office 2003 to LibreOffice
in the school I work for : that was not easy for users, but tey mostly
understood the benefits of free (libre) software. Now it is adopted by
everybody, except our secretary who needs more specific tasks, such as printing
mail labels.
I had a talk with him to understand what problems he is facing and I saw on the
Internet that he is not alone... Problems I list here are from the most
important to the less annoying. I hope it is understandable :
1. When you finish your label document (choosing format, choosing database and
fields, synchronizing contents, using mailing assistant to merge addresses,
save the resulting file), you obtain a sheet where you can only modify the
first label, but not the others. This is the biggest problem, because in real
life there is almost always one label you need to modify manually.
2. After choosing format, database and fields, you cannot have an overview of
the merge result, the only choice is to print or to save : you can not correct
you mistake directly. Maybe add a "Merging overview" button to the "Synchronize
labels" ?
2bis. After choosing format, database and fields, you have to launch the
Mailing Assistant and skip most of the steps to save the merged file. This step
is very confusing. Why not just had a "Merge and save" button in the
"Synchronize labels" toolbox ?
3. When you create a new mail label sheets, you can not add a new database. You
have to create a writer document, add the database, and then only go in File ->
New -> Labels. It is not really intuitive.
I know these problems are far from being the only ones, but I think making mail
labels creation easier would be really usefull for many companies.
Thanks again everybody for the time and work.
