Mail merge

Hello

I'm trying to get mail merge working in Abiword, and not having much luck.

I tried following the instructions in the manual at:

https://www.abisource.com/help/en-US/howto/howtomailmerge.html

But they don't work on Abiword 3.0.2.

I get this message:

> The '--print' option has been removed as of AbiWord 2.8. You can achieve the desired
> behavior using AbiWord's command-line conversion tools and then piping the output to a
> print spooler. Eg: 'abiword --to=ps --to-name=fd://1 myfile.txt | lpr'

if I enter

>abiword -m mergeleme.csv mergeletter2.abw

at the terminal, Abiword starts and loads my template letter, but all I see is the field names.

If I go to the Tools menu, and click Mail Merge, I get the first record from my CSV.

Where am I going wrong?
