DO NOT REPLY [Bug 118946] New: printing serial letters
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118946
Bug #: 118946
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: printing serial letters
Classification: Application
Product: Word processor
Version: version58
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: printing
AssignedTo: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
ReportedBy: burkhard.kasten@gmx.net
Created attachment 77235
--> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=77235
a simple text
Database for serial letters is a file test.ods
create a new text file .odt
fill in the very first line a database field <Name>.
Print a serial letter.
You will have an empty page after each letter.
Dependant on complexity of the letter several different problems of printing
occur: Missing form feeds afer each letter, or missing parts of text in the
middle or at the and of the text. Even a complete colum of a two-colum-tables
was missing, the "new" table took the same size as the original table, that
means, the printed colum became wider.
I tested several letters, more and less complex. No one of them was printed
correctly. Until OpenOffice 3.1 all my serial letters worked without any
problems.
If desired I can email a set of more complex printouts and odt-files.

The newest Version (4.1.1.) Shows the same defect as the older ones. The
attachment demo1 contains a more complex Serial letter, containing tables and
free text. the table ist toatally destroyed, form feed is missing, parts of the
free text are missing.
demo1.pdf has not been created by open Office, but by a virtual printer.
There ist no changement since Version 3.1.

I can reproduce the problem with AOO 4.1.1 (no choice for it at "Latest
Confirmation on:") under Linux. Because the OP stated that it was OK until 3.1
it seems to be a REGRESSION.
The sample document includes many hidden sections but it seems no reason for
the bug. I made all sections visible an give each a separate background color.
The preview of mailmerge shows that the first section is destroyed without
having a background color.
To save the layout I tried to insert a paragraph before the first section. I
formatted the characters of the paragraph as hidden and created a new paragraph
style with it. Same result as before.
By the way: If I use the original document demo1.ods without any changes and
insert a paragraph break before the first letter (before name1) AOO crashes.

There is an empty page after each record.
Test1.ods has 5 records -> resulting letter has 9 pages instead of 5.
