Description wegwerf4 2023-07-21 09:55:40 UTC
If I issue a print command Libreoffice (L) asks, wether I want to print a serial document. I enter <NO> and L outputs only the first page (correctly).

This is how it works / works as designed.
In order to print out the entire recordset, or a subset thereof (using a query), optionally with filters, you must use a mailmerge, or else create a report with the report generator.

Please provide a step by step description of how to reproduce what you are experiencing.

Also please indicate your operating system and LO version number.

Please also indicate any difference, for example, with screenshots that you can attach to the present bug report, with regard to a previous version of LO in which what you are currently experiencing, did not occur.

he bug works as follows:

I am creating a mail merge letter in .dot format with variables from an exel database
from an .ott template.

After opening the serial .ott letter I create a serial
letter by choosing the relevant database entry and create
the output file with "create single file" and "save to
folder xy".

I can open the created .dot file with writer, edit it.

Up to this point everything is ok.

I then open this file with writer. Choose "print", "all pages", and 2 copies.

Writer prints the first page and one copy.

Same error when I choose "page 1-2" in the print dialogue
and set copies to "2".

Hope this helps.

Correction:

Printing the number of copies works.

But whatever page number I enter after clicking "no" when asked wether I want to print a serial letter, it prints page 1, when I enter "print all" and prints nothing when I enter "page 2".
