I have done lots of mailmerge in other software, but cannot figure yours out. What is an "address list"? While you allow me to hand enter one, I need to use a comma delimited file or a spreadsheet, and I cannot find any way to do that. Further, you appear to limit your merge to just the name and address. I need to put other merge fields in my letters. If that can be done, I sure can't figure out how. Current behavior: Documentation is incomplete, confusing and impossible to use. Expected behavior: Documentation needs much improvement. Ubuntu 11:10 Firefox.
We can't handle such general "make LibO a better software so that I can understand how it works" reports. @Betty Mock This is the Bug tracking system, not a helpdesk! You can get assistance from Documentation at <http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/> and on <http://ask.libreoffice.org/questions/> or on the public users mailing list <users@libreoffice.org>, a mailing list from <http://www.documentfoundation.org/contribution/#lists> or <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists> It would be great if you could reopen this bug after you have got answers and leave some concrete hints where in Help explications could be improved.
Hi Rainer, I wasn't asking you to improve the software, only the documentation. I submitted it as a bug because I couldn't find a place to submit suggested improvements to documentation. If you documentation would simply define what an "address list" is -- what the file format needs to be -- it would help a lot.
