Description jimnivens 2006-11-28 01:28:40 UTC 
Until I upgraded to v 2.0.4., I could always control my MailMerge with a toolbar
that was above the Datasource window in Writer.

i.e.
In Writer, click the Datasources button to turn on the Datasources viewer.
Before v. 2.0.4, there was a toolbar associated with this located just above it.
 It contained buttons for functions like Sort, Filter, MailMerge, etc.

I used it extensively, and now it's gone and I can't figure out how to get it
back?!?

Please help.

Do you mean the icon which do the same like the F4 key?

{Sorry this has taken so long... I didn't get any feedback that you had asked me
a question :-)  I just noticed today.}

No, I don't mean the icon that does that same thing as F4.  I can see that icon
between the "Gallery" and "Non-printing Characters" icon in v2.

What I mean, is this... if you go back to v1.1.3 (or even v1.1.4) and you show
the Datasources window (by pressing F4 or the Datasources icon), then along with
the Datasources window, there will be some more icons along the top that help
you control your Mail Merge (filtering, sorting, and mail merge controls).

{NOTE:  Open a version of 1.1.3 and 2.x side by side.  Open the Datasources
window in each.  Notice at the top of the Datasources window in v1.1.3 that
there is a row of icons (probably disabled), but in v2 there is no such row of
icons.  These are what I'm talking about.)

I miss these controls.  I can't do what I need to do in v2, so I have to keep
v1.1.3 installed on my computer so I can do my quarterly Mail Merges.

If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

~ Jim

@jimnivens 
Please specify your OS and Platform.

Do we talk about the 'Table Data' toolbar in the 'Data Source Browser' (pls. see
"screenshot.png"!)

(duplicate of issue 48059 since even when you got the toolbar in OOo 2.x, it
won't allow you to do the mail-merge the OOo 1.x way, instead you have to use
the bothersome new "wizard" :-((()

Apart from that, if you really don't see any toolbar, add any information you
have to issue 50385

Most important would be a screenshot I guess.
