LibreOffice mail merge address labels
When you understand the process, the LibreOffice mail merge system works quite well.
But when you have your finished merged document, containing all your address labels, it's impossible to edit any of the labels other than the first one. If you try you to make an edit you just get a pop-up message:
Read-only content cannot be changed. No modifications will be accepted.
This is annoying if you spot something that needs a minor edit, and you don't want to go back through the whole process.
The answer is to remove the read-only protection by:
- Go to the menu option "Format" > "Sections".
- Select all the sections in the document (one section per label).
- Click on the "Write protection", "Protected" to clear it. You'll see all the padlock icons in the section list become un-locked.
Now all the labels can be edited as much as you like!
