Mail merge - Check with chooise to show warning not again, has unwanted effect
Last modified: 2007-04-21 20:18:50 UTC
When giving the print commando for a merge letter, a window pops up with the question: " Your doc contains address database fields. Do you want to print a form letter? " The window offers a checbox: " Do not show this warning again." However, having checked that box, there is no posibility to get the mail merge window, which is very usefull for some functions. Futhermore, the option has effect on all documents with database fields. And it is not possible in the GUI, to undo the option The only way to get the pop-up window back, is editing the prop oor:name="AskForMerge" in the file Writer.xcu in the user registry path. This defect already exists for a long time. (I just now made time to check it in a recent version, not short before a new release.)
It is known problem, see issue 51906 or for a more general solution issue 56982. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 51906 ***
