Problem description: This is more of a general thing for mail merge. I use mail merge extensively for solutions other than filling in address and name details. The letter is a general safety sheet with the records being specific information about a particular location acquired from a registered spreadsheet. This involves me formatting the page in non standard ways; columns, including an image, tabs etc. When I get to the preview section of the wizard where I can skip through and select/deselect records everything shows in the preview as it should. On completing the merge much of the formatting is lost and sometimes differs if I repeat it. Particularly the columns are lost and if I try to reformat due to other variables records can become jumbled. This results in me wasting time working on laborious work arounds. Perhaps a little attention could be give to this component? Other grumbles: A paragraph return is added at the top of each new record. The selection/deselection method in wizard is not time efficient, a check box system where all records are shown in tabular form would be ideal. Steps to reproduce: 1. .... 2. .... 3. .... Current behavior: Expected behavior: Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 3.6.0.1 rc
We'll need a simple test document in order to confirm this. Sorry for the long delay. Putting this in NEDINFO - once a sample document is attached mark the bug as UNCONFIRMED. Thanks In the future please always include enumerated steps on how to reproduce and a sample document - you'll get much faster feedback when everything is simple to test which requires a bit more from our users. Thanks again!
