Re: Headless mail merge

Hi Andew,


thank you for your answer. I'll take a look at the links you pointed to.

The idea is, starting from a template in odt/doc/docx, to "fill in the
gaps" and save the filled document. Is there any other way rather than
mail merge?


All the best,

Marco

 I had planned on documenting how to do this some years back and
 AndrewBase.odt, and my only notes say that I should document the new
 e-mail merge API released in OpenOffice.org version 2.01; that was a
 long time ago. 

 I generally do not have reason to use mailmerge, but did you want to
 send something by email or to print? 

 Someone posted a question about using mail merge with UNO in Basic here: 

 https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/syntax-for-using-spreadsheet-as-data-source-in-emailmerge-macro/24831

 From my perspective, the fact that they used the
 server com.sun.star.text.MailMerge is useful in that it provides a
 pointer to the service to look at. 

 Another request for help here:

 No answer; sadly. 

 In AndrewMacro.odt, there is an example that merges a bunch of
 documents from a directory into a single document and it is listed as
 being related to "mail merge", so I assume that somebody had run a
 mail merge and this processes created many documents. But again, I
 have not run a mail merge in many years.

 Hi all,


 what's the easiest way to perform a mail-merge with libreoffice by
 passing arguments from an automated script? Should I use UNO?

 Do you have any reference?


 Thanks in advance,

 Best,
