[libreoffice-users] Re: Serial letters with LO 3.4.1 and MySQL-Base

Hello,
I have now installed LO 3.3.3 on my Debian-Linux System. The result is
as follows:
- inserting conditional text based on variables from a MySQL database
  neither works on Linux-3.3.3 (it DOES work on Windows-3.3.3)
- the problem of leaving out text/graphics items when trying to produce
  more than just ONE letter at a time does NOT work on either the
  Linux- or the Windows 3.3.3 version.
- Selecting the rear paper feed on my Canon iP-4800 printer works both
  on 3.3.3 for Windows and Linux
- the problem of overprinting the last character of a hyphenated word
  with the hyphenation sign does NOT exist on either 3.3.3 version.
Hope things get fixed for 3.4.2...
Regards
Heinrich
