Description Marc Nyssen 2021-04-04 15:20:37 UTC 
Description:
LibreOffice versions 6 and 7.1.2.2 MAILMERGE wizard shows only 5 steps and after pressing <Finish> does nothing, although "starting document" is OK, Document Type either "Letter" or "Email message" and fields are correctly linked to database table; same operation with LibreOffice Writer version 5 worked perfectly, resulting in 75 "merged" documents.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. provide a writer document
2. insert a spreadsheet table into a dbase table
3. link fields of the dbase table to entries in the writer document
4. start the mail-merge wizard

Actual Results:
no mail merge happens, no error is generated

Expected Results:
75 merged files


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
generate merged files

This is not a bug. Steps decreased from 8 to 5.
I'll mark duplicate of documentation bug, because it should be clear in Help.
