mail merge email dialog box not opening

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help with this frustrating problem. I have tried in both Linux (Arch) and Windows 11.

I have set up the mail server connection and tested it. I have set up the email client. I have created a spreadsheet which includes email addresses, connected to it in writer and created a document with fields.

The problem is that when I select File/Send/Email Document... I do not get a dialog box with any options, it just opens a new mail with an attachment.

I would like to send the text of the document as an email not an attachment. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Hi, I think you need mail merge for what you want to do.
There is a step by step here for LO5 that may help https://www.maths.cam.ac.uk/computing/files/email/LibreOffice5mailmerge.pdf
