When printing a mail merge/form letter you have the option to select a record range for the form data. If you select From 1 to 100 then records 1 to 99 inclusive are printed, record 100 is not. If you select record From 50 to 50 (so you can print just record 50) then a letter prints with no data from the data source. To print record 50 you need to print From 50 to 51.
Hi :) A fence-post error? http://catb.org/jargon/html/F/fencepost-error.html The word "To" is not inclusive and that is sometimes not intuitive for people. I think it's right tho. Regards from Tom :)
If it is right (and technically I agree) there become 2 bugs. 1. Prevent printing a page empty of data for range n to n (i.e. 5 to 5) 2. General print dialogue in all LO applications where range is specified 5-7 needs to be non-inclusive of the last value, i.e. only 5 and 6 print. It would make more sense to fix the merge and add the text "inclusive" to the range so that it matches other page selections.
