A two-pages Writer document showing the duplicated records after using the "data-to-fields" button
Hi smesserli, You need to add a "Next Record" Field into the last card on page first. f.e.: - Use Menu VIEW / FIELD NAME - go to the end of the first card - copy the last field. named "next record ..." - paste the field into the last card onto the first page. - turn off the field names via VIEW / FIELD NAME - use data to fields again -> done. Bye Marc Thanks for you help, the "next record" field is indeed missing. But is that a bug in OO or not? The last card always misses the "next record" field in a new Labels document, so adding a record at the end of the document will always lead to the same record duplication issue. Should I mark this issue as "invalid" nevertheless? Cheers, - Stéphane change owner I can confirm this still happens in OOo version 3.0. Question still remains should this issue be marked as invalid? Not a bug IMHO. You don't need to copy the page to print more labels, you could simply print one page twice. And to print e.g. 100 datasets, it is also not neccessary to create so many pages to hold the 100 datasets. When using Print (since the document contains fields, OOo asks whether you want to do a mail-merge print, answer yes) and selecting more datasets, then OOo will not print duplicate entries, it will automatically assume "next dataset" at the end of the document (i.e. the one page in the document). So: no bug IMHO, resolving worksforme. closing issue. |
