Created attachment 90847 [details] Screenshot describing what I'm talking about When you print a Writer document with database fields, it asks: "Your document contains address database fields. Do you want to print a form letter?" When you click "Yes", a "Mail Merge" dialog box appears and asks if you want to output it to the "Printer" or to a new "File" on the disk. I want neither. I want to display the output to a new Writer window without having to create a dummy intermediary file on disk.
Hi I confirm what you say: with File> Print it is not possible to generate the result of the merge without saving the document (or print). However it is possible with Tools> Mail merge wizard> 7. Personnalize> Edit individual. Moreover, if you only want to view the result, it is perhaps not necessary to generate all the merge: Select a record in the data Sources Windows then click on the Data to fields button. Does that answer your question? Regards Pierre-Yves
