Hi :)
It's a fence-post error (i think).  "To" means "stop just short of", "up to & 
including" is what you want but i don't know of a better work-around than the 
one you are using.  If you were driving "into town" your first stop wouldn't be 
outside the far side of town.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Selecting record range in mail merge.

Hi.
When printing a mail merge/form letter you have the option to select a
record range for the form data.
If you select From 1 to 100 then records 1 to 99 inclusive are printed,
record 100 is not.
If you select record From 50 to 50 (so you can print just record 50)
then a letter prints with no data from the data source (those fields
left blank). To print record 50 you need to print From 50 to 51.

I have LO 3.3.2 installed on SUSE which shows this bug and have filed
bug 40278.
