Description yvan 2015-03-02 12:01:01 UTC 
Hi,

Using LibreOffice 4.4.1.2, I want to do a mail merge :
 - I choose my database with "Edit-> Switch database"
 - I display my "Data sources" with F4
 - I insert my fields in my master document
 - I go to "Tools-> Mailing assistant"

Then, in step 6 "Edit document", I shoud be able to preview the individual document of my choice, but I can't: the individual document in the background still shows in grey the database fields I inserted but not theirs contents.

I am almost sure this was working in some previous version, but I can not remember exactly which one.

Regards,
YvanM

Can you provide an example document with a data source? Thanks.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the document.

Thanks for your time.

That is strange. As I said, if I go to "Tools -> Mailing assistant", then going forward to step "6", I can not see the resulting fields even if I click on "Edit": the fields stay in the format "file.sheet.column".

I noticed that I do not have the same build ID : mine is  3a87456aaa6a95c63eea1c1b3201acedf0751bd5
My Windows 7 is 32 bits.

I saw that LibreOffice "still" is now available in version 4.3.6, so I am going to upgrade and I will let you know if the issue is still here.

On Windows 7 but with LibreOffice 4.3.6.2 build ID d50a87b2e514536ed401c18000dad4660b6a169e, no change.

But I just thought to reset my profile : this solved the issue.

If you agree, I think you can close this bug : I suppose it would be mostly a waste of time to investigate what was the problem in my profile.
Comment 7 Buovjaga 2015-03-11 16:31:39 UTC 
Thanks. I'll close this as INVALID because the profile reset solved it.
