Hi

In the past I had used the email mailmerge features in LibreOffice with
some problems, and was wondering if it works now?

I still see it in the menus but before setting up a proper data source
and going throught the wizard I just wanted to ask here. I seem to
remember it depended on Java and it would be removed or rewritten at
some point.

Thanks for any information about this.

Regards,

Fabian

Hi, Fabian

Been successfully using the mailmerge feature for a number of years now, using MySql/MariaDB as well as Calc spreadsheets, in both Ubuntu Natty and Linux Mint 13 (Maya).

HTH.

Hi Fabian,

I started using mail merge using OpenOffice approximately 10 years ago using base and writer. As I recall, I set up the writer label forms without using the wizard. There were several minor issues I dealt with back then, but since then it has worked perfectly. I do have Java installed. Once LibreOffice was released, I moved from OpenOffice to LibreOffice. If you are having problems with it working, perhaps folks on this list can help you getting it working if you describe the issues.
