Description Pit Zaclade 2021-08-08 12:56:47 UTC
Description:
If I am printing serial letters I use the filters when I want to exclude recipients.
The option "exclude recipeint" in the toolbar 'mail merge' is every times grey and without any function, therefore useless.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a base table
2. Print a serial letter
3. Want to exclude any recipient

Actual Results:
the 'exclude recipient' of the toolbar 'mail merge' is useless and grey

Expected Results:
Any recipients are excluded


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Comment 1 Pit Zaclade 2021-08-28 08:46:00 UTC
Now I am using v1.7.5.2 (x64).
Now I have used the "mail merge wizard" and the same "base query".
in the toolbar "mail merge" the option "exclude recipient" is every times grey and without any function, therefore useless.

It is not to exclude any recipient of the table on this way.

LO Help gives no relevant informations about that option: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-GB/text/swriter/mailmergetoolbar.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN

But I can't find that option in the mail mege wizard. Pit, can you add a screenshot or add some more detailed steps? Thank you. (Ad of course you can ask Hrbrgr to confirm the report)

Yes, that's the toolbar. But I couldn't find it in the mail merge wizard (see my comment 2).

I am German. If I want to get the English vocabulary in the program writer I have to switch the language.

I wrote in comment 1:
 "Now I have used the "mail merge wizard" and the same "base query". "
The mail merge wizard can you get in the first left position of the mail merge toolbar.
I want to describe how I have produced the specific mail merge document.
