--- Comment #2 from Alex Kempshall <[email protected]> ---
It seems that the Mail Merge functionality has changed with release 5.2.n.
Can't find this documented anywhere. Mail Merge now has it's own Toolbar. I
would suggest that the Mail Merge Wizard in the Tools menu be dropped to avoid
confusion.
These appear to be the changes

The above changes now mean that my test case, quoted as the original comment to
this bug report, has to change to and on that basis works -
1.
Start LibreOffice writer with empty text document.
2.
View -> Toolbars
If unticked check the "Mail Merge" Tick Box.
3.
Focus should be returned to the empty text document. Also, the Mail Merge
Toolbar should have appeared which includes 6 "buttons" which are <Mail Merge
Wizard>, <Navigation Arrows>, <Exclude Recipient | Edit Individual Documents>,
<Save Merged Documents>, <Print Merged Documents> and <Send E-Mail Messages>.
The <Mail Merge Wizard> button should be enabled the other 5 buttons should be
disabled (greyed out).
4.
Left click the <Mail Merge Wizard> button on the Mail Merge Toolbar
5.
The “Select starting document" dialog box should appear. The left pane should
contain 5 steps. In the right pane select the "Use Current Document" Radio
Button. Then press the "Next >>" Button.

The "Select document type" dialog box should appear. Select the "Letter" Radio
Button. Then press the "Next" Button.

the Company Name field and press the "OK" Button.
12.
A “Save – LibreOffice” dialog box should appear enabling the newly created
address list to be saved as a csv file. Select a suitable directory to save the
file to. In the "Name" Field enter a name of the CSV file to be saved i.e.
CompanySeed. Then press the "Save" button.
13.
The "Select Address List" dialog box should re-appear. Press the "OK" Button.

address element in the left hand panel and drag it to the "Drag Address
Elements Here" Panel. Can also use the right pointing arrow.
17.
The "Drag Address Elements Here" Panel should only contain the "Company Name"
and the "Preview" Panel should contain the text "ABC". Press the "OK" Button.
18.

only buttons available are the "Finish" and "Back <<" Button. Press the

containing the field <Company Name>. All buttons on the <Mail Merge> Toolbar
are now enabled. Press the <Save Merged Documents> on the <Mail Merge> Toolbar.
23.

click the "save as a single large document" Radio Button. Press the “Save
Documents” button.
22.
A Message box should appear counting the 3 Company Names to be merged as
entered in the steps above.
24.
A “Save – LibreOffice” dialog box should appear enabling the newly created
merged document to be saved as an odt file. Select a suitable directory to save
the file to. In the "Name" Field enter a name of the CSV file to be saved i.e.

26.
Using your file manager navigate to the directory in which you saved the
