Priority: medium
Bug ID: 63833
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: MAILMERGE: Loosing page formatting
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.0.1 rc
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description: This is more of a general thing for mail merge. I use mail
merge extensively for solutions other than filling in address and name details.
The letter is a general safety sheet with the records being specific
information about a particular location acquired from a registered spreadsheet.
This involves me formatting the page in non standard ways; columns, including
an image, tabs etc. When I get to the preview section of the wizard where I can
skip through and select/deselect records everything shows in the preview as it
should. On completing the merge much of the formatting is lost and sometimes
differs if I repeat it. Particularly the columns are lost and if I try to
reformat due to other variables records can become jumbled. This results in me
wasting time working on laborious work arounds. Perhaps a little attention
could be give to this component?
Other grumbles:
A paragraph return is added at the top of each new record.
The selection/deselection method in wizard is not time efficient, a check box
system where all records are shown in tabular form would be ideal.
Steps to reproduce:
1. ....
2. ....
3. ....
Current behavior:
Expected behavior:
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 3.6.0.1 rc
