Mail Merge Wizzard saves truncated files with function 'Save merged document > Save as individual documents'
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:42:39 UTC
Files output from a mail merge varied in length and were the wrong content. Directory listing is below. 1. First file produced was correct. 2. Second file stopped at the end of the second of three pages 3. Third file was a blank page 4. 2 and 3 repeated 26 more times 5. the last 14 files are about the right length, but have some problems with text near the end.

I've attached to issue 72821 three files that allow you to also replicate this issue 72820. Note: 1. I've left graphics in the Writer file in case they are part of the issue. Also I haven't adjusted them to position correctly in the output, so at some point you'll have to delete or move one or more of them to see the footers you need to. 2. I left all the rows in the spreadsheet. You can delete some to make it work faster, but it certainly causes the issue with all rows in. 3. You'll probably have to reconnect the database file and spreadsheet, and register the database. I named the database connection "TestMerge". Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the file <OOo Bug 72818 to 72821.odt> 2. Show data sources 3. Click Mail Merge button 4. Click Next 5 times - OOo will now be creating the docs (VERY slowly!) 5. Click Next 6. Select Save Merged Document 7. Select From (will be 1 to 74 if you've used all rows in the spreadsheet) 8. Click Save Documents, select a directory in which to save them. I used prefix "TestMerge". 9. The output files vary in length in a pattern similar to the directory listing included in the original report. Please let me know if you need any more information. regards - David
I checked with "2.2.0RC4 German version WIN XP: [680m14(Build9134)]" and can confirm the problem with the attached test files and also with my own test document and address data base: Mail Merge Wizzard saves truncated files with function 'Save merged document > Save as individual documents' Steps to reproduce with the test kit: 1. save all documents in "E:\USR\LJH\Spreadsheets" 2. Connect "TestMerge.odb" to "OOo Bug 72818 to 72821.ods", if necessary 3. open "OOo Bug 72818 to 72821.odt" 4. Menu 'Extras > Mail Merge Wizzard > Use current document > <NEXT>' 5. 'Letter > <NEXT>' 6. '<Select Address List>' in step 3 and select "TestMerge" '<OK> > <NEXT>' 7. '<NEXT>' in step 4 ... 7 8. 'Save merged document > Save as individual documents' in step 8 and save somewhere on harddisk Expected: 74 very similar documents should be created Actual: you get documents with alternating size 1.2 MB / 9KB
HI->OS: Could not reproduce with own created document but with the bugdoc. Tried to test with OS92 but the cws crashed.
Still occurs with stable cws os92
Fixed in cws os98 in sw/source/ui/dbmgr.cxx
Reassigned for verification
Verified with cws os98 = ok
Still ok in 680m225_9196
