Problem description: The default fields for topic and subject (document properties) are only printed to the first document by using the mail merge assistant. Steps to reproduce: 1. define the document properties topic and subject (file->properties) 2. insert the fields to the document (tab "document info") 3. generate a mail merge document Current behavior: the inserted fields are only printed to the first document. In the followed documents there are only whitespace instead the expected content. Expected behavior: I would expect that these fields are printed to every document during the mail merge process. Subject name of the conversation in the mailing list: MAIL MERGE: Default fields "Topic" and "Subject" are only printed in first document regards, Sven Operating System: Mac OS X Version: 4.2.5.2 release
Confirm reproducible under Ubuntu 12.04 x86 with: - LO 4.3.0.3, 4.2.6.2, 4.1.6.2, 4.0.6.2, 3.6.7.2, 3.5.7.2, 3.3.0.4 - AOO 4.1.0 So it's likely inherited from OOO Not only fields "Title" (not "Topic" in en-US version) and "Subject", "Author" also has this problem as well. The other fields (Date, Time, Page Number, Page Count) doesn't have this problem.
