hi thepanz, Sorry, but I cannot understand or reproduce your report. In LibreOffice (OpenOffice.org) mail merge is done with a datasource. (File > New > Database etcetc Register(!) or Tools > OPtions > LIbO Base > Add ) A data-file (csv, xs, ods, txt) or database is not associated with a document. It only is associated with fields, that might be placed in a odt. When starting Tools>Mail merge, in step 3 there is the option to select an address list. That shows a list of the defined datasources. And also the button Add. I can select a csv-file via that. Can you maybe be more specific where your bug is? thanks - Cor @Cor : Someone on the English users list has reported that they couldn't re-use a CSV file as a datasource when using the Mailmerge function, if the data in the CSV had been updated (independently of LibO). Perhaps this is what thePanz means ?

Perhaps this is what thePanz means ? That has been an issue for a long time, but is solved since OOo 3.0.1 or so. And it is clearly not what thePanz writes ;-) So I'll wait a little more, but tend to close this issue as invalid.

I'm reproducing the this issue with: LibreOffice 3.5.0rc1 Build ID: b6c8ba5-8c0b455-0b5e650-d7f0dd3-b100c87 (installed "modules": Writer, Calc) * How to reproduce I 1. create a new OpenOffice writer document 2. Tools->Options.. -> LibreOffice Base -> Databases -> New 3. Select a .csv file (eg: test1.csv) 4. close the options dialog 5. Insert->Fields->Others.. -> Database, expand test1 (cursor hangs) * How to reproduce II 1. create a new OpenOffice writer document 2. Insert->Fields->Others.. -> Database -> Browse.. and add a .csv file (eg: test1.csv) 3. the database "test1" appears as a new database, but with any table in it: can't add any field in the current document Regards I can confirm this bug as well for LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3. Can't reproduce the problem as described in comment #6 with LibreOffice 4.2.5.0.0+ under Ubuntu 14.04 x86-64. Please, do you still encounter the problem with current stable version? Best regards. JBF We have 4.2.x and 4.3.x in the mean time. 3.5.x is way old, so I guess a WORKSFORME, as jean-baptiste writes. |
