Mail merge: Print into single odt files with unwanted results.
.
1. Fields instead of regular text
.
When you "print" your source file (mail merge) into several single odt documents, the single documents contain the specific fields not as (plain) text but as a field. Double click on them leads to data base.
Versions:
LibreOffice 7.6.4.2 and many other versions; beginning on StarOffice 5.2, OpenOffice 3.4.1 and still present in OpenOffice 4.1.15 and latest LibreOffice versions.
When printing in PDF files, there are no fields.
.
2. Comments remain in single odt files (mail merge)
.
Same problem with comments. If you print a source file into several single odt documents, these contain the comments, even if not selected in print properties. If you print into only one collecting odt file the comments are regarded as well in contradiction to to print properties.
Versions:
LibreOffice 7.6.4.2 and many other versions; OpenOffice 4.1.15 and some latest LibreOffice versions.
When printing in PDF files, there are no comments, according to print properties.
