Summary: MAILMERGE: Using a csv as database creates SOME
duplicate pages
Severity: critical
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.5.6.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Hello,
when a csv text file (separated by ; and "") is used as input source for
mailmerge, some of the records are printed twice.
We have a mailmerge with a csv file with 240 records. The first record defines
the field names, the rest are simple mail addresses. We created a LO database
file and registered it in writer. When choosing the file as data source for the
text document, the right count of records is displayed in the field/record
selector of Writer. When we than print the mailmerge (ether direct to the
printer or to file(s)) with all records, than some of the records (the
page/document) printed twice. To be clear: the data is NOT printed twice on ONE
page, a second page with complete same data is generated.
When we load the csv file into a Calc spreadsheet, save the spreadsheet and
than select this speradsheet as the input source for the mailmerge, all went
normal. Each record is printed once.
- In LO Base, when you view the records, there are the right count.
- In the field/record selector the right count is shown.
- In the created spreadsheet the right count is shown.
When printing direct from the text file, the duplicated records are always the
same, so the error is repeatable.
We thought, there is a error in the csv, but:
1) Base and Calc show the content right
2) Calc imports right
3) Datasource selector of Writer shows right
4) We used this file format with OOo 3.2 with no problems, the creating program
wasn't changed.
The error occurs with LO 3.5.6.2 on Linux and also with 3.6.0.4 on Mac. So it
seems not to be OS specific.
I can provide the text file to a assigned developer by PM. Please show
understanding, that i cannot attach this file viewable to the public. But the
data is not so confidential that it cannot be used in a development
environment.
