Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 43962
Mail merge lacks custom fields
Last modified: 2014-03-17 11:44:56 UTC
Hi, We use mail merge to produce survey reports of PGM's. We do this by generating a csv file from our survey software which contains certain fields which we want to display in a word file. We then use Word's mail merge feature to generates the completed report in Word. We are unable to do this in openoffice as mail merge is locked into address lists. A lot of people who use mail merge in Word don't just use it for letter heads, they use it to produce data reports and not being able to select custom fields means that I can't get people away from Ms Word ! Could the custom fields be added ? Fergus.
