Description JohnG 2021-12-08 21:23:42 UTC
Description:
My experience with an attempt to print mailing labels using an existing calc file proved futile. The task is very cumbersome and not at all user friendly. Unfortunately, I had to resort to MS Word to accommodate the task, something I really didn’t want to use. Please help by adding a simplified format for this task. Thanks!

Actual Results:
The transfer of mail addresses would not process between the db and dt files. The output file for print only showed the placement areas for name, address…etc.

Expected Results:
Actual data in the print fields of the labels


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Created actual print data

Hi John
Could you please provide more precise steps to reproduce the issue you experienced?
If at all possible, with example files to test if we can reproduce the same problem with the database not populating the fields properly.
Much appreciated.

Please close this incident. It was a general complaint about the complexity of creating mailing labels from an Excel spreadsheet.

Sure, we can close it.
It's just that this sounded like an actual bug:

Please feel free to set back to "unconfirmed" if you change your mind and want to provide more details.
Thank you!
