Mail Merge Wizard fails in 4.2.0

Has anyone else had a problem with the MailMerge Wizard in 4.2.0?

In release 4.1.4 and all previous releases it produced the merged data.

In release 4.2.0 it gives every indication that it is doing the business by stepping, the correct number of times, through the records in the selected address list. It produces the correct number of pages. Each page has the address block in it. However, each address block is empty. I've tested this on Slackware 14.1 and Windows XP.

Has anyone else seen this. If so do you know if a bug has been created for this. I've searched bugzilla and not found anything.

Hi :slight_smile:
Sorry for the lack of responses! If it worked fine in 4.1.4 and
stopped working in 4.2.0 then it's worth reporting as a bug-report.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
Obviously it would be good to try 4.2.1 jic it has been fixed already
but bug-squad/QA can quickly close the ticket if it has been fixed but
you haven't had time to check it yourself.

The main reason it's good to ask this mailing list is if you are a new
user, perhaps more familiar with other office suites, and have not yet
read up much of the documentation nor gained years of experience using
LO/OOo/AOO.
