Hi Beth,
After installing a fresh copy of OpenOffice 1.1.5 on a Windows XP Home
computer, I am unable to duplicate your error. Which makes this the worst
kind of problem.
But let's walk through this by the numbers to make sure that we're talking
about the same error. Follow through step by step and tell me where your
experience differs from mine. Also, if you are not succesfull here - try
using a different printer - just to be sure that it isn't a PRINTER issue.
Start->OpenOffice 1.5->Text Document
opens oOfice
File->New->Labels
Labels Tab
Label text: <bibliography.biblio.0.Author>
<bibliography.biblio.0.Address>
Format: Sheet
Brand: Avery Letter Size
Type: 5395 Nambe Badge-White
Options Tab:
Distribute: Entire page
Synchronize contents: Yes
Close dialog by pressing the New Document button
Document now shows 8 labels with no data in them - just the fields.
Tools->Mail Merge...
From this document: yes
Close dialog by pressing the OK button
Mail Merge dialog opens.
Records: All
Output: Printer
Close dialog by pressing the OK button
The Print dialog will vary from printer to printer. But by now if there is a
problem, it's likely with the printer driver. Here are the settings that I
chose for my HP Deskjet 1200:
Pring range: All
Print to file: No
Number of copies: 2 (just for fun)
Collate: Yes (just for more fun)
Press OK to start print job.
Now the DOCUMENT itself shows Page 1 / 1. But the printer spits out 2 copies
of a 2-page set of mailing labels. Which is what I was looking for.
