--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- Thanks for your answer ! I think I have to clarify: >> 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. > When creating, at the latest tab check Synchronise. > That gives a toolbar to "update links" so that after changing the first, > the others get changed too. The problem is not synchronization. The problem is if you need to manually edit SPECIFIC labels and not all the sheet: you can't do it before merging, and you can't even do it after merging. >> 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" ? > I've no real opinion on this. > Isn't it that this is offered by the steps in the Wizard? Yes, indeed, you can view the merge in step 6 of the assistant. But if you agree on 2bis, you won't use the assistant anymore, so you also need a way to have an overview. >> 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. > The menu Edit > Change datasource should do that? 3. Yes, you can do that, but I think it would be better to also include an "Add data source" button directly in the mail labels' first window. I suppose it would not be difficult to add, but it would be far more intuitive. As you suggested, I will ask on http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/ if I have time. I can also create a new specific bug report if you think is the good way to do, but I would prefer before to agree with you and others on what should be improved and what should stay like that : this will permit to do better "specific" bug reports. Thanks for reading, Yvan -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
