Re: Headless mail merge

[Andrew Pitonyak]

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,

Marco
