Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO-Base

Hello Andreas,
No, not labels with mail merge fields; I have for years been printing tabs for
an archive of musical notes, nothing to do with mail. To this end I have been
using a view that I created as a base for the data. I understand the process
having used it for years and years. That's why I am so surprised it doesn't seem
to work anymore. I have filed a bug in the meantime.
Regards from Salzburg
