Mail Merge Problems with Printing

[Jean Lear <me...@internode.on.net>]

I am using Apache Open Office 3.4.0 (meaning to upgrade but have not done so 
yet) on Windows 7 Home Premium.
I have had this problem for some time with a monthly mail out using a mail merge 
to print inserts to be included for posting a magazine.
The most recent merge was set up to print out eighty three insert sheets.
After overcoming the problem of linking the merge to the correct Spreadsheet 
names I set the Brother Laser Printer to print 'all'.  Things go well until 
about forty inserts are printed when the printer stops. I go back to the 
addresses and either select the remainder of the list by highlighting and say 
print 'selected records' or in other trials print '41-83'  The printer starts 
again and may print six or so and then stop.  Reset again to do a selected 
number say '47-83' and it will print another half dozen or so.  With patience
the whole 83 can be printed.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the whole number printed at first go.
Thank you.
Jean

Hello Andrea,
Thank you very much.  I have read the quoted bug report and have done a
test of highlighting all the names in the data base file and have watched
it go
from 1 to 83 in the numbers at the bottom of the list of names.
As I do not want to print these all again now I changed it to print to
file. I was able to see that it saved all 83.
I will get the mail merge printing done in half the time next month.
Once again thank you very much.
Regards,
Jean
