Description Olivier Hallot 2022-05-21 18:58:47 UTC
Database Properties Wizard. Accessed by selecting Edit > Database > Connection Type on the Menu bar.
 
When the dialog is first displayed (before any selection is made at Step 1), the Help button takes you off to the Writer Mail Merge Wizard help page, which contains no relevant information. As you subsequently navigate through the wizard, for different connection types, I would expect the help page reference to be context sensitive. However, the Help button always seems to take you off to the Writer Mail Merge Wizard help page.
