LibreOffice Data to Fields not Working

[paulcbrennan2001]

Trying to create labels for Christmas Cards as I do every year I can't get the 'Data to Fields' button to work. I have tried the same action on my wife's winblows machine using OpenOffice without a problem - works fine. Is this a LibreOffice bug? Has anybody else had the same problem?

Is that in Calc or in one or more of the other LibreOffice-modules?

Libre Calc

Probably have a look at the following document about the use of data-sources in LibreOffice:

OT @isadora: I've shortened the link. It seemed to come from a google search results page - there are browser plugins to show direct links there ...
E.g. for Chrome/Chromium: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... dfkpobecpg
for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... -link-fix/

Thanks for that.

Tried using Writer - same result (or non-result!!).

Looks like I will have to use my Wife's winblows machine using OpenOffice!! This is obviously a bug in LibreOffice. My own opinion is that OpenOffice is better than LibreOffice even though they are very alike.

Probably you are better off, asking this in the LibreOffice-forums, like:
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/questions/

Maybe it could be like this one,.......

........but as you see i am not sure, you'll be better off, doing your own query at the aforementioned forum.

Probably will.

Thanks anyway.
