printing Labels in Calc

users
#1

Friends, I'm using:

Platform: AMD Phenom(tm) II X2 555 Processor × 2

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

LibreOffice Version: 5.1.6.2
Build ID: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial4
CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: default;
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group

I've created a mailing DB - named columns (tables) -  saved it - registered it ...but

when attempting to print mailing labels only the DB name shows in the label window - no table names are made available to format the label.

I seem to have exhausted help and FAQ titles, what am I missing?

Hi Wayne,

Platform: AMD Phenom(tm) II X2 555 Processor × 2

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

LibreOffice Version: 5.1.6.2
Build ID: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial4

You are using a very old version of LO. And you are using the version of
Ubuntu, not from LO directly.

I've created a mailing DB - named columns (tables) -  saved it -
registered it ...but

when attempting to print mailing labels only the DB name shows in the
label window - no table names are made available to format the label.

I have tested this:
File > New > Labels
I could switch to the Database "Bibliography" (Standard in LO)
I could select Table "biblio".
I could choose all Database fields.

Works the same way with another database I have connected to LO.
System here: OpenSUSE 15 with LO 6.1.4.2.

Have I understand it right this isn't working for you?

Regards

Robert
