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

Could you please retest with actual version LO 24.2.5 and give > feedback? > Thank you. > > => NEEDINFO Data: 2024/07/17 Version: 24-02-05 Write Funzione: Mail Merge wizard Same conditions as previous report: - calc table imported from Base to create a database of names with addresses - write sheet with the database linked. 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.
Sorry for the very late reply. I've tested with Version: 24.8.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 48a6bac9e7e268aeb4c3483fcf825c94556d9f92 CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 22631); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded but I can't confirm the problem My Steps: 1. Create a mail merge with mail merge wizard and database from attachment 195356 [details] Open file StampaSerieIndirizzi2.odt from attachment 195356 [details] 2. File -> Print 3. Answer "Yes" to the question "Do you want to print a form letter?" 4. In mail merge dialog select second and third data -> OK (I've selected "File" as output) Actual and expected result Document with two letters (if you select "Save as Single Document" or two documents Iif you select "Save as individual documents")

For all testing this bug, please read bug https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164287. This seems like a duplicate of that bug.

In response to comment #9 Sounds like the same problem to me too. My first report of this issue, which then over time evolved for the worse, was with bug 151029 on 2022/09/17 which did not lead to any positive results, ... I then repeated the same issue with bug 158517 on 2023/12/04. In conclusion if we are talking about duplicates read the dates of reporting, the message you sent me should be sent to the person who reported bug 164287 which seems to be a duplicate of my report.
I've made an accidental discovery. It's the printer drivers! I had to reset a Windows 10 machine that had an Epson LX-310 dot matrix printer. I installed LO v7.3.3.2 and noticed that it didn't compress the text when printing a spreadsheet. I thought that the bug got fixed with the latest release.
While I don't think all of those scenarios are even vaguely likely or required, this kind of brings me back to one of my original suggestions that there should be a dialogue that allows the user to select locales they want to be offered when writing documents. But I stopped harping on about it when consensus seemed to shift in a different direction and to be honest, I'm getting a little lost in terms of how the current proposed solution fixes the original problem but 8 years on, I'd be happy for ANY movement on this bug hitting test/release and then re-file if that doesn't actually fix the problem.erferer https://www.kencanacars.com/sewa-alphard-jogja.php
