Description: Goal: To create documents to link to a general database of addresses of people and companies, through Mail Merge Wizard... produce individual documents for the names of interest found in the general address database. 1) I created a spreadsheet (addresses.ods) in which I entered the addresses of three people. 2) I created a database (addresses1.odb) by importing the data from the spreadsheet. 3) In write I created a document (printerseriesaddresses2.odt) in which I enter the address I take from the database and through mail merge (Tools → Mail Merge Wizard...) 4) I create separate documents with the Save Merge Documents command, for the three people in the database. The procedure so far, (steps 1 through 4), works correctly, at the end I get the three documents. Steps 1 through 3 give no problems. Things don't work correctly in step 4 if I start selecting the documents I want to create, i.e., I exclude one or two addresses with the Exclude recipient checkbox, and execute the command with the Save merged documents button, the procedure does not return me the only requested documents. I assume that this malfunction also affects the Edit individual Documents, Print Merged Documents, Send Email Messagges commands. Steps to Reproduce: 1.in description 2. 3. Actual Results: in description Expected Results: in description Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: in description

Claudio, it seems, that nobody could confirm your bug report for more than six month. Could you please retest with actual version LO 24.2.5 and give feedback? Thank you. => NEEDINFO

I use the database to automate the production of documents when needed, same text and variable part linked to the database. I used the same system some ten years ago with word-excell. The documents to be produced almost never concern all the names in the database, in fact I usually only produce one document at a time. In this particular case, used specifically to test the ‘Mail Merge wizard’ function, the database contains 3 names. I select the ‘Exclude recipient’ check box for the first two names in order to exclude them and print only the third. I press ‘save merged documents’ I complete the window with what is required and get a document, I check its contents and inside instead of finding only the third call sign I find all three, and this is wrong. The function, except in a few cases, always fails to produce only the requested documents. The files I used I already attached last time, in 3 minutes you can check for yourself if what I say is true. If I can, I will attach the three files to this message. I hope I have been clear and helpful, however practice refines grammar, before asking for further clarification, please execute the procedure I have described, try other cases and draw the consequences. Cordially Claudio
Even with version 24.8.1.2, the bug manifests itself. It is impossible to perform a check on the documents that are created; the only solution is to create them all and then delete the unwanted files or sheets by hand.
