Hello I'm trying to get mail merge working in Abiword, and not having much luck. I tried following the instructions in the manual at: https://www.abisource.com/help/en-US/howto/howtomailmerge.html But they don't work on Abiword 3.0.2. I get this message: > The '--print' option has been removed as of AbiWord 2.8. You can achieve the desired > behavior using AbiWord's command-line conversion tools and then piping the output to a > print spooler. Eg: 'abiword --to=ps --to-name=fd://1 myfile.txt | lpr' if I enter >abiword -m mergeleme.csv mergeletter2.abw at the terminal, Abiword starts and loads my template letter, but all I see is the field names. If I go to the Tools menu, and click Mail Merge, I get the first record from my CSV. Where am I going wrong? ----------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [email protected] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
