Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19445
Printing mail merge to file with individual jobs overwrites file to print to
Last modified: 2014-03-18 13:35:02 UTC
Open file to mail-merge. Press F4 to open datasource viewer click Mail-merge button choose to output to printer and select individual jobs. Click OK, select a printer (I chose Generic Printer with Linux) and choose to print to file. Enter the name of the file to print to After printing you will notice that there is only 1 one file generated containing only the last page. I would have liked different files to be generated so a not to lose each job (each page) before the last. Indeed each intermediate page between the first and the last job are overwritten.
this is not possible yet. i change the issue type to enhancement and reassign this to bh to have a look on this issue
lbc -> bh: I think this problem is in the print-to-file driver, not the mailmerge.
