This week I have been introduced to the wonders of mailmerge. Never again will I write out a herbarium label by hand! This took forever to set up but it populates the label from data downloaded from iNaturalist and manipulated in R.

Today in software complaints:
If you know you have to mailmerge to print: use real Microsoft office. Or get someone who has it to make a PDF.
It isn't rocket science but it won't fucking work with other software.
Sincerely the only person in a group of 50 who seems to know how to merge.

I’m thinking of making the switch. I’ve had it installed in the past to deal with some documents I received or to submit spreadsheets to HMRC, but lack of an email client with mailmerge app kept me on Office. That has been acting up, and I no longer need mailmerge, so time to dump it I think.
