Three different machines, two Ubuntu, one XP, Insert Field, Other, Next Record doesn't do anything
Jan, We really need to know more. Tell us the version of LibreOffice that you are using, the database you are using, and what you are trying to do. For the last, please give us a numbered list of the steps you take, and take it down to the level of each keystroke and mouse click. At each step, tell us what the program does, and--if you think the program should do something else--tell us what you think the program should do. You might look at <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67128#c10> as an example of the level of detail that I think is helpful in the list of steps. Terry.

I have tried to reproduce it, but can't follow your instruction when I look for the following points: (In reply to comment #2) > 9) Insert fields, Other, Mail merge fields, "label" > 10) Insert fields, Other, Next Record > 11) Synchronize Labels - they all say "label > Don't know where to find. I have pressed "create new document" - don't know, if this button is called so in the English version. Then I get a new document. Pressed "print" and got the labels printed.
