Re: [libreoffice-users] XML as mailmerge data source?
and yes, Google claims to have found more than 65,000 results ;) Yes, as I said, I've been looking, and I found lots of results, but But bottom-line will be, convert the XML to CSV or Excel or ;) You seem to agree with me that, no, there isn't a way. Since XML is a wau of structuring data, just like a database is, then this seems to be a glaring omission, so glaring I couldn't believe it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] XML as mailmerge data source?
That's a sufficiently good-English explanation. I've got a very simple XML file that I'd like to use, which is why I hadn't thought about the wider issue. Just need to be a database engine that uses XML files... And package it with Base... :-s Regards Mark Stanton One small step for mankind... -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

I import XML into calc with an import filter, then it is possible to use it as a data source. The import filter is not hard to configure but if there was a wizard for the import it would open XML import to a much wider audience.
