At my job we currently use Lotus Symphony and we use the Open Document
format exclusively. We're currently in the process of migrating to
LibreOffice 4.2. We have a lot of documents we use with the mail merge
feature. All of the data sources are from spreadsheets. In Symphony, the
spreadsheet column names are automatically mapped to the field names in the
text document. In LO, however, it seems it only wants to default to
"standard" mail merge fields (first name, last name, address line 1, city,
state, zip, etc.). I would have to remap every field to match LO's field
naming convention. I don't want to have to do that. How can I make this
more like Symphony's mail merge functionality where LO matches the column
name with the field name? I'm not merging letters--I'm merging data from a
spreadsheet using custom column names (like AmountPosted, JobID,
DateCreated, DateCompleted, etc.). Thanks!
