Description Derek 2021-08-11 04:02:54 UTC
Description:
Mail. Merge has until recently worked perfectly, now I get a page of duplicates for each individual label. Followed the instructions step by step several times to be sure. Running a Mac Pro with OS 14.1.2. Have just installed LibreOffice on a new laptop with Windows 10 and get the same result.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Register a data source
2.Create a label
3.Print using Mail Merge

Actual Results:
Sheets of duplicate labels produced. So 44 pages of labels instead of 44 individual labels.

Expected Results:
Should have created 44 individual labels on 8 pages


Reproducible: Always

Have just changed Mac OS to 11.5.2 and LibreOffice to 7.2.04. Still get the same result.

I don't reproduce this, it works OK for me with current git master when selecting a label type that puts several labels onto one sheet.

Example steps:

1) in menu, select "File" -> "New" -> "Labels"
2) select
   * database: Bibliography
   * Table: biblio
   * Database Field: Year
   * Brand: Avery Zweckform
   * Type: 5141 Computer-Etikett
3) press "Insert"  (button with left arrow) to insert that field
4) select "New Document"
5) print (Ctrl+P) and select to print a form letter, print to PDF printer

With this type, 3 labels are put onto one sheet (as expected).

 Have you used a label type that puts multiple labels onto one sheet?
What happens if you take exactly those steps as well?
