Cannot insert mailmerge database field "next record"
I have tried both the Sarge and Sid versions of OOo.
I cannot correctly insert a new record with Insert -> Fields -> Other ->
Database -> Next record. The dialog box does not give me access to a
field - only its parent OOo spreadsheet. The resulting inserted field
looks like this:
Next record:Ticket numbers.Sheet1
Subsequent inserted record fields in the same document do not print. On
documents produced with older versions of OOo, the "Next record" field
looks like this:
Next record:Ticket numbers.Sheet1.text
where "text" is the field name of the data to insert. I cannot find a
reference to this problem in the list or Debian bugs or the OOo website.
Am I doing something wrong? OOo help says " The records that you want to
include must be selected in the data source view." I clicked on the
column heading "text" and all the column data below was highlighted
before I inserted "Next record". I would be grateful for any suggestions.
