Description Leon Arundell 2012-11-19 22:59:04 UTC
Problem description: When using the mail merge wizard I can select an address book, but the wizard won't let me proceed past that point.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a text document
2. From the menu, select "Tools > Mail Merge Wizard ..."
3. Select "Use the current document" and click "Next >>"
4. Select "Letter" or ""Email message" and click "Next >>"
5. Click "Select address list ..."
6. If necessary, create a suitable address list
7. Click on a suitable address list and click "OK"

Current behavior: 

A. From the end of Step 2 above, the following mail merge steps are greyed out and inoperative:
. "Create salutation"
. "Adjust layout"
. "Edit document"
. "Personalise document"
. "Save, print or send."

B. The "Next >>" and "Finish" boxes are greyed out and inoperative.

Expected behavior: The "Next >>" box will be available and will allow me to proceed.

I have noted the exact same issue on LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 running under Linux Mint 13 x64.

I reproduced this with version 4.3.0.0.alpha0+, Build ID 393ece995a0761a72c8341bf56e40fe4c57a4824, on Ubuntu 12.04.
Comment 4 Björn Michaelsen 2014-04-25 12:44:07 UTC
I cant reproduce this in current master (38b9fe826903e661238388a93c9a283467e2d9f7 from  Fri Apr 25 10:41:08 2014 +0200). The wizard steps are all active and the buttons operate. Can you recheck if this still in an issue on current master?
Comment 5 Leon Arundell 2014-04-26 01:00:05 UTC
The problem is worse in LibreOffice 4.2.3.3 under Ubuntu 14.04.

At Step 7, "OK" is greyed out and I cannot select an address list.

+1

+1 under LO Writer 4.2.6.3. Tried using CSV and ODS as source. Same problem, 'Ok' button remains greyed out.

Oh and that was under Linux Mint 17. I also tried 4.3.3.2 (latest) under Windows 8 and that worked a great.

So - typically without QA confirming we don't move these forward but with a few independent confirmations. I'm going to go ahead and mark this as NEW, REOPENED is incorrect. Thanks
