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

Alex,,

 I am sorry, but I am not tech help and I have no idea what you are 
talking about. I also do not use any Microsoft products and am 
completely unable to assist with them.

I have no idea how I ended up getting shown as a help contact.

My problem is ending the massive overload of email from libre office.

Good luck, but I can't help

Chuck
