Description Jean-Paul 2016-05-23 07:29:12 UTC
In Writer Mailmerge, when printing the form letter to output "File", and specifying "Save as individual documents", and selecting "Generate file name from database", a trailing zero is appended to the generated file names.
This seems to be an old problem, but I did find it neither reported nor resolved.

Does it still happen in 5.2/5.3?

There was a rework of mail merge.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists in 5.2/5.3. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
