I continue to be plagued with problems making the mail merge function operate properly in the Writer module.
I did finally get it to work with a form letter, but only when I created New Document. Using an existing document would just hang.
Now, when I try to print labels, it just hangs when I go to File > Labels, link my spreadsheet, and click New Document.
I saw references to needing JDK installed. I have tried both JDK 8u111 and JDK 8u112, but neither one does the trick.
I was using LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 on Windows 8.1.
I just tried upgrading LibreOffice to 5.2.3.3, but it did not help.
Suggestions?
Edit: one hour later
After I let it spin for about 5-10 minutes, I just gave up and went out on an errand.
When I got back an hour later, the process had finally finished successfully to build the label pages.
I have no idea why it took so long, but at least it finished.
