Re: [libreoffice-users] Need Help Setting Up Mail Merge

Hi :)
Documentation?  Writer Guide, Chapter 11
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
Errr, i take it the guide for 3.4.x is not working on your system?  The docs team are working on 
the 3.5.x guides now so it would be good to know if there is a problem or a change so that they can 
make a note of it for when they get that far.  

Could you let us know which version of LO are you using and which OS?  

Regards from
Tom :)

I've spent several hours going around in circles trying to get mail merge
setup and running in LibreOffice. It was working fine in OpenOffice, but OO
starting crashing and is currently unusable on my Mac.

Using the "Address Data Source" wizard, I can not get everything in place. I
have a data document that is exported from Filemaker Pro, I tried "tab" and
"csv" both. Is there a correct file type that I should use? Here are the
steps that I am taking,

Address book type - "other external data source"

Connection Settings - I click on "Settings"

Database type - I select "Text" from the drop down menu

Path to the text files - I browse to the file that Filemaker exported, but
it is greyed out. I can only select the folder that contains the exported
csv or tab file.

I can then specify the type of file, and the field separator, etc., but the
actual file never gets selected.


I would appreciate any help with this, after several hours trying every
combination I could come up with, I'm at a lost.

Thanks!
Charles
