Description mchristi 2005-06-21 21:17:32 UTC 
When you print a document (CTRL-P) with mailmerge fields then OO asks whether a
mailmerge should be performed.  If you answer affirmatively then you are
presented with a dialog showing the actual field values that could be entered. 
 Sadly, you cannot select the actual printer the documents are sent to (which
was possible with the OO 1.1.x).  A workaround is to first set the default
printer (with File -> Printer Setting -> ...) to the desired printer.  A side
effect of this deficiency is that you cannot select to print to a file (a
PostScript file,  you can print to OO files) instead of directly to the printer.
  This is very annoying; mailmerges usually produce a large number of pages and
I like to first print to a PostScript file and have a look if everything seems ok.

I believe this is actually a duplicate of issue 51259 and also issue 45083,
which was wrongly closed with no action taken.

SBA: In OOo 2.04, there is a button "Print to file". Anyway, this one is indeed
a duplicate.
