Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 9585
Database/labels/printing problem
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
Trying to print address labels from a mysql database accessed with jdbc I saw three different problems which are: - some paragraphs which should have been hidden became unhidden on printing - conditional text also gets messed up on printing (condition being an empty database field) - when there are too many labels for one sheet, I can't find a way to print multiple sheets. As a subsidiary point I had all sorts of trouble getting conditions to work: the help and a howto I found aren't consistent. In the end the only syntax which worked for me was from the howto. Eventually I got exactly what I wanted displayed but it gets messed up on printing (I also tried the generic printer in case it was printer specific - no change). The only info I found which was even close was on a mailing list where someone (sorry I've forgotten who) said that multiple hidden paragraph fields don't work on labels. So I also tried it with only one hidden field and/or conditional field but it made no difference. I can't package up my actual usage but I have created a doc with instructions to show similar problems using the Bibliography database. This facility will be _really_ useful for me once it/me works right. Keep up the good work. George.
