The Issue
The Issue
When merging emails from a Google Doc body the words 'Tab 1' appears at the very top of the email. Something similar happends when merging the Google Doc to a PDF file. The 1st page of the PDF just says 'Tab 1'.
The issue occures when the default 'Tab 1' is touched. Even if edited and renamed back to Tab 1, the issue will occur. Same thing will happen if you add Tab 2 or more. Even if you do not put any content in the other tabs.
