thanks for answering, I will try to detail my difficulty with Direct Mail tomorrow for you, with images too! :) about the updates, It's not the case that is really important but.. the tool exist in menu.. but everybody(worldwide) needs to download the full package every single version, uninstall the old one and install the new one.. doesn't make sense u know.. I'm not complaining I just want to know why it exist and doesn't work.. and if the LO team has a plan to introduce this in the future. Thanks! <div class="gmail_quote">2011/12/27 Cor Nouws <<a href="mailto:oolst@nouenoff.nl" target="_blank">oolst@nouenoff.nl</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hi Eduardo, Eduardo wrote (27-12-11 12:07)<div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> the dificulty of using the "Direct Mail" tool is a bug?

Sometimes with problems, but most of the time not. I know there are some bugs, and quite some have been fixed recently. Can you please explain what problem you experience? That will help us either point you to an existing issue, or locate a possibly unknown problem.<div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Note: This tool works perfectly in Lotus Symphony And another answer: Why LibreOffice don't have the hability to self-update? It's very annoyng to reinstall LO in every single machine in my company. </blockquote> </div> If that is really important to your company, then it is very logic to consider a support contract from one of the larger contributing companies to LibreOffice. I guess they will provide that kind of service. (And other advantages for all parties :-) ) Kind regards & thanks for writing, -- - Cor - <a href="http://nl.libreoffice.org" target="_blank">http://nl.libreoffice.org</a> </blockquote></div>
