Description P Cunningham 2021-09-28 14:55:25 UTC
In Mail Merge, in the Print>Print a Form Letter dialog; Output > it would be very helpful if either the last used choices could be saved for Printer/File, Save as single document/Save as individual documents, Generate file name from database, and File Format; or the user could set defaults.

It would also be helpful if this dialog box could be larger; at the moment it only shows one line of the database, so I have to drag to enlarge the dialog before I can select records.

Saving last choices I guess could be an enhancement. I set New so far, unless explained it's not feasible. 

One issue per bug. Second request seems to be covered by bug 47890.
