I'm afraid I have to agree with Lee here. Compared to previous sucessive
versions of OpenOffice.org, mailmerge functionality has regressed, so
much for preserving "past investment" as our mission statement likes to
tout. A quick overview of the bugzilla lists a few of the most relevant
mailmerge problems within LibreOffice. I keep a copy of OpenOffice.org
3.2.1 !!!! for that very reason - sad ain't it, but nonetheless a
business necessity.

I see that there is a bug issue floating around on bugzilla for all
problems deemed to be required to be resolved in order for LibreOffice
to be considered "enterprise ready" - I hope mailmerge is up there with
the others (haven't looked yet to be honest).

For a quick gander at mailmerge problems :
