------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Feb 16 17:14:04 +0000 2011 ------- I use Open Office in preference to Microsoft Office. Although in OOo 3.1 the operation of Mail Merge is near flawless (a wonderful relief) in 3.2 and 3.3 it is effectively crippled, for my uses. Normal Use - Periodically, I produce certificates, detailing results and producing individually named and separate .odt documents. These, I then use “text2pic” to import images. This gives a superior performance to Microsoft Office. 1. I can produce documents to file, for selected record sets. Brilliant. 2. I can produce individual files (or a single document). Not available in MS 2007. Great! 3. I can name them from inside the data base. Again, superb. 4. I can import images, albeit with an extension, which never works in MS Office. 5. I can export these as .pdf, or send to a .pdf printer. High quality .pdf's, secured, in a short space of time. Excellent. Defects in 3.2 and 3.3- 1. In 3.3 the automatic selection of Print to file using the “F” hotkey in the dialogue box is not present. Irritating. 2. Whether the selection is set to individual files or single document, it prints a single document. This is a “show-stopper" for me, and renders the other improvements in 3.2 and 3.3 superfluous. It is an absolute requirement that I be able to mail merge to seperate files.
