SO8: Problems with Mail Merge
The mail merge wizard in SO8 seems much less flexible that in SO7.
In SO7 I could insert any fields from a Calc spreadsheet into the Address locations in a letter: getting rid of blank lines was clumsy but it worked.
SO8 seems to want to force me into using a set of predefined address formats, none of which does exactly what I want it to: my address format (for the UK) involves first name, last name, 5 address lines (the 3rd and 4th of which may be blank) and the postcode.
Will this be enhanced in a future release?

Try opening the merge document then click the Print icon, answer "yes" to the "form letter" question and you will get the behavior you are use to in prior versions.
The new Mail Merge wizard drives many of us nuts but users kept demanding all the bells & whistles it provides (rather poorly at the moment).

Hello,
I am trying to use cells from different sheets in a spreadsheet for table entries in a mail-merged email document. Although the addresses in the table are correct, only values from the sheet the email addresses are on are appearing in the email document. This is a gradebook appliction--each sheet corresponds to a unit of assignments. I want to email from more than one unit at a time (say the overall grade sheet and the current unit). Thanks in advance for you help.
