Re: Deb-OOTeam: mail merge broken by recent upgrade

I failed to let you know what version I have installed that has been
giving me this trouble.  So here is that data.  

Thanks,

Subject: Deb-OOTeam:  mail merge broken by recent upgrade

Chris Halls, Jan-Hendrik Palic and Rene Engelhard: 

Hello.  Since a recent apt-get upgrade which brought in a new version
of OpenOffice, I have been unable to do a mailmerge.  

It acts like its performing a mailmerge, only it fails to intergrate
the data into the open document, or to create a new document with the
data embedded.  

This feature is key to me.  In fact, I have three deadlines (past due)
that are dependent on it.  

I'm merging from a semicolon delimited flat file named <file>.csv, just
as I have done in the past.  (Never was able to get mysql hooked back
up since an earlier upgrade).  

I'm using OO 1.1.1, from the Debian testing distribution, upgraded
about a week ago.  

All advice and assistance is appreciated.  
Thanks,
