RE: mail merge not working
Jonathan, the problem seems to be the two columns A and B which are hidden and empty !. They contain no data and seem to confuse AOO Base. Show the two columns again and fill one of them with an incrementing ID Remove (if possible, the remaining empty column from the spreadsheet) No need to "convert" to .odb if you choose the option "Connect to existing database" Select "Spreadsheet" in the dropdown, which opens a fileselector, so you can browse to your spreadsheet.

Re: Mail Merge
I had this problem with mail merges until I found that when I was ready to print the merged documents and opened the Print window there are a number of tabs at the top - General - OpenOffice Writer - Page Layout - Options. Go to the OpenOffice Writer and the last item on this sheet is Page - with a tick box for Print automatic inserted blank pages. If there is a tick in the tick box remove it and this should solve the problem. I know there are hundreds of different printers and various operating systems but I always see the same window come up for both Canon and Brother printers I have. I have been using various versions of Windows from 95 to 10. The earlier versions I cannot speak for but know this has been the same in 7 and 10. Hope this helps.

Mail Merge
I have a lot of experience using Mail Merge with Windows. The past few times I have used Mail Merge in Apache Open Office I get the following problem: After each page of print, a blank page is spit out of the computer. So if I have 98 records, I get 196 pages. Every other one is blank. When I look at the document I’m printing from, I only see the original 98 records. But when I scroll through it, the first record is 1/196, the second page is 3/196, the third is 5/196, etc. Obviously I’ve formatted something but I don’t know where. Any suggestions?

mail merge - how to detach data after mail merge when printing to file
Hello, I have set up my mail merge correctly so that I merge data to a letter from a spreadsheet. I print them to individual files. However, the data is then still attached to the spreadsheet and I can’t seem to disconnect it. Sometimes I need to format the information after it’s inputted, but I can’t. Not only that, when I send the files to other people, they can’t see the information. Please help! Thank you, Patty

This has been very frustrating and I have tried to do this for years. Don't know what to do about it. Please help. I know little about this, but a little experimentation suggests that sheets of a spreadsheet will not be recognised by the Address Data Source... wizard or the database registration process if they do not appear to be in a suitable format. If, for example, I displace valid data across or down the sheet by preceding it with blank rows or columns, the sheet will be disregarded and not appear as a candidate for data - as you describe. Have you perhaps arranged your sheet of addresses with titling and spacing designed to appear as you wish on a printout? Is it that which has confused the data sources facility into not seeing your data sheet as a valid table? The Mail Merge facility will generally be expecting your data source to be simply that: field names in row 1 starting in column A and data in rows 2 onward. If this is your problem, you may wish to consider this: o Construct sheets 1 and 2 as you already have - as the two to be printed. o Select just the actual address data on sheet1, copy it, and paste it into sheet 3 but using Paste Special instead of ordinary Paste and ticking the Link option. This will create a copy of the address data on sheet 3 which will automatically update as you edit sheet 1. o Add column headings as field names to sheet 3 if necessary. o Construct print ranges to include both sheets 1 and 2 (but not 3). Now if you print your document, only sheet 1 and 2 will print. When using Mail Merge, harvest your data from the new sheet 3. I trust this helps.

Re: MAIL MERGE TO AN OPENOFFICE CALC DOCUMENT
Hello Alexandro, I have spent a lot of time trying to get mail merge to put numbers on the raffle tickets I am trying to produce since my last e mail. Years ago I started to keep items from the Forum that I thought would be helpful to me. I thought today that I would go back and see what I could find there about mail merges and came across something from Apr 06 when someone asked for help in printing numbers on four raffle tickets to a page. It was written for OO 2.0 and went about it in a very different way to what I had been trying to make work. The instructions are at - http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=34641 I thought I would send this on in case it would be of help to anyone else who could not make more recent instructions work for them. Thank you for your help getting me onto using OpenOffice Writer.

Another strategy is to breakdown the merge and do the merging in sections, meaning that you would need to generate the mailmerge with only the fields that you think have issues and see if this is being repeated in isolation. If this works, then there might be some other field interrupting the process. PD: Sovleigh Haugland has an excellent tutorial on Mail Merge althought is a bit dated, it still works wonders. It explores and redescover the power of mailmerging.

About the Mail Merge Wizard... tool
Hello, My pleasure to contact you!!! Well, I would like to know about OpenOffice tool called Mail Merge Wizard. I created a new file by the OpenOfice Writer, created two or more columns for page, clicked in Tools, clicked in Mail Merge Wizard..., selected a document type like a Letter, selected an Address List, included an address block, uncreated a salutation..., selected Save merged document, selected Save as single document... My questions are: Is it correct a white page for each page created by tool? (without salutation) Is it correct only the first column filled by tool? Thx, Givaldo. PS: Sorry, by my poor english.
Re: About the Mail Merge Wizard... tool
There are simple or complex ways to do it, the complex way allows you more granularity of the merge: http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/2007/01/mail_merge_in_o.html On 10/6/14, julio...@ibest.com.br julio...@ibest.com.br wrote: Hello, My pleasure to contact you!!!

Empty fields in mail merge/labels.
A client asked me a question I am unable to answer, or find definite information about. I suspect the answer will be not possible, but wanted to check with you folks first. In mail merge and labels there is a work-around to skip empty lines, but is there a hack to skip empty fields within an otherwise populated line? The data file includes: Title, Firstname, Joint, Partner, Surname, Label, Address1, Address2, Suburb, State, Postcode. Assuming a label design: Title, Firstname, Joint, Partner, Surname, Address1 Address2 Suburb, State Postcode. Some recipients have partners and some do not. The field Joint inserts and Mrs. Some have house or property names which go in Address1. Fully populated fields result in: Mr Alpha and Mrs Bravo Smith The Place 1 High Street Somewhere Here 1234 But empty Joint, Partner Address1 fields for single people results in: Mr Alpha (space) (space) (space) Smith 1 High Street Somewhere Here 1234 FWIW. I am told (not been able to check) that in MS Works all empty fields are skipped. The solution I put forward was to put the partner name on a separate line, left blank when not needed, but this does not satisfy the client's requirements. Any other thoughts, suggestions or pointers to a solution would be welcome.

Re: Empty fields in mail merge/labels.
You need Conditional text for each field that could be empty.
When you have an empty field you also need to make the space between the
words conditional.
For empty paragraphs an Hidden Paragraph (don't forget to deselect the
View Hidden Paragraph).
The fields and conditions are shown below, for readability I have each
field on separate lines.
*Title*
*Firstname*
Conditional text

Re: Mail Merge Problems with Printing
Hello Andrea, Thank you very much. I have read the quoted bug report and have done a test of highlighting all the names in the data base file and have watched it go from 1 to 83 in the numbers at the bottom of the list of names. As I do not want to print these all again now I changed it to print to file. I was able to see that it saved all 83. I will get the mail merge printing done in half the time next month. Once again thank you very much.
