Description rajarshin 2006-03-20 07:47:39 UTC 
Open Office Writer Related Problem:- While using the Mail Merge option it is 
generating only the odd pages and the even pages are missing in the output. 
Please provide us an alternative to Mail Merge both the even and odd pages.

I checked with "2.0.2  German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]" and was not
able to reproduce the Problem.

I used my normal address database (an OOo spreadsheet) and printed a mail merge
letter with selected addresses for my m´business christmas mail. I saw that it
_looked_as_if_ only odd pages would be printed (Is saw somthing like 1/1  ...
3/3 ... 5/5 as progress indicator in the status bar), but really all pages for
all addresses have been printed.

So this seems to be INVALID.

@rajarshin:
If you ralize that you _really_ found a bug, please contribute a small testkit
with a letter document, some small address database (best: table in the same
folder as your letter document) and some more information how to reproduce your
problem.
Did you really test for _all_ WINDOWS versions?
Comment 4 Rainer Bielefeld 2006-03-20 21:36:56 UTC 
I just found out that there _is_ some little problem:
The mail merge assistent creates empty pages between the pages of the letter,
which were invisible for me, because I had unchecked in Menu "Tools - Options -
Print - print automatically inserted empty pages" (Menu text translated from
German version, might differ a little in original English OOo).
This does not cause any real problem, all pages for my needs were created and
will be printed. But 
- I really only have odd page numbers
- I do not find a possibility (or help text) where I can switch off 
  empty page insert
- Insert of empty pages seems to be default, I do not see for what that 
  should be useful
