   Source database is a calc sheet.

Actual Results:

Correct assignement of the fields of single rows to a single page/document.

Comment 5 RS 2023-12-30 19:50:07 UTC

The output you created looks not good at all.
The CALC-File on which the serial letter is based contains three rows and I expect three output pages too.
The adress block should consist of the character B to H followed be number 1 and the "Nummer" 1/2023 on page one, B-H 2 and "Nummer" 2/2023 on page two and B-H 3 and "Nummer" 3/2023 on page three.
Page one of output is correct, in page two the adress block is missing, "Nummer" is correct.
Page three contains the address block of page two and the "Nummer" of page 3.
Page four is empty and page five contains only the adress block which I expect in page 3.
If you want to see the correct output print the serial letter with output into single documents. That is working.

I believe this is the correct output, therefore regression, confirm.
