I'm trying to an email merge and keep getting the following error. You'll want to experiment with and adjust how you format the original Writer documents and what format you send in.

Note that I sent it in email format, but with the extra carriage returns I put between the lines in Writer, it looks a little spacey here. You'll see the progress window (in this test I only sent two emails). Fill it in by selecting the field from the database that has the emails in it, and anything else you want. Select the database you're using and the table. Choose Current Document, or else browse to your document, and click Next. Step 3: Choose Tools > Mail Merge Wizard. If you have security on your email, like requiring a password to send, you'll have to click the Server Authentication button and enter additional information.

In Writer, choose Tools > Options > Writer > Email. Create your email the way you want it with the roll-your-own approach. (Click to see the bigger version you'll see different values in the two letters.)īUTOne thing you can't do in the roll-your-own approach is do an email mail merge.ĭo you really want to go through the complexity and muscle aches of using the Mail Merge Wizard? No. I always train people to just 'roll their own' when making a mail merge document.Įverything you can do in the mail merge wizard, you can pretty much do in the roll-your-own approach, especially since you can now print all documents to a single file and then open that and customize it as you like, before printing on paper.Īnd viewing/editing the file output. I'm afraid the Tools > Mail Merge Wizard has never been one of my favorites.
