<pre>Description:
1) To create labels from a spreadsheet, the spreadsheet must first be exported
to csv or dbf. 2) After selecting the (say) dbf file the fields from another
database are presented and the required fields must be swapped with them. 3) To
suppress blank fields the menu item Insert|Section must be used for reach one.
Why is there not dedicated labels workflow window that allows any source,
selects all fields, has a simple checkbox for suppress empty fields? This is
the most complicated thing many users ever want to do. I have introduced many
people to LibreOffice, but many have gone back to MS Office at Christmas, when
they are doing their Christmas cards.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a spreadsheet with titled label columns
2.Follow instructions to create a label - export to csv or dbf file
3.Create labels and insert sections to suppress blank fields
Actual Results:
Usually failure when entering sections to suppress blanks.
Reversion to manual editing or using gLabel.
Expected Results:
Much easier process without jumping around the menu.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
See MS Office or gLabel for better workflow.
