#1

Hi everybody!

I have a problem with mail merge on Libre office 5.3 installed on Ubuntu
16.04.

Once I inserted every field, the function I can't perform Merge Mail on a
selected record. I tried on other PC and it appear the option .
I disinstalled and reinstalled all the Libre Office package but the same
problems persist.

Thanks for help

Hello,

Sorry for the long response time, I only really saw your message today.
When I do mail merges, I use the "Data Sources" available from the View
menu (Ctrl+Shift+F4) to select my data source and filter what I want to
use for the merge, and then to activate the mailing wizard (the button
looks like 3 stacked envelopes and is the third one from the right). Is
this what you are trying to use or is it something else?

Maybe it's the button for the basic mail merge that is missing in that
version? Then you can add it from the Tools -> Customize -> Add a
command, and then you can find the Mailing Button in the category
"Document". One you have the button, you can place it on a tool bar and
use it from there. Not sure anymore what the differences are between
the two, but I remember trying both and finding the one available via
the Data Sources to be more flexible and perhaps easier to use.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Rémy Gauthier.

Hello Alice,

Maybe you could try using a different version of 5.3; right today the 5.3.6 has been released.

If that doesn't work... could you describe better your problem? Is there a non active button?

And... supposing you're italian... there's also an italian users' support list that you can subscribe to:
