Hi John,
1) On re-opening The database lost its connection to the letter and you
had a chore to re-link the data fields in the *.csv file to those in the
letter.
Known bug.
2) To add a "new contact" is too complex.
Known limitation. Calc Sheets/CSV files are read only when the file is
being accessed by the mailmerge, i.e. being used as a datasource, it has
been like this for years.
3) Merge, then adds all the fields again in bulk to the letter for a
2nd time, so you have to delete all the 1st batch
Seem to recall that this too, is a known bug.
4) I thought maybe it would be better then, to add new contacts to the
csv file in Calc
No problem there - up until you go back to Mail merge.
it corrupts the file in some way (or the 2 are incompatible). All the
1st and last letters of any word are missing, eg, " company" becomes
"ompan" and "zip" becomes "i", and it does the same to the data, then
even when you merge you get nonsense data in the fields on the letter.
Henceforth, totally useless.
Also known bug, as far as I can remember.
