User peterhb changed the following: What |Old value |New value ================================================================================ Status|CLOSED |UNCONFIRMED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|WORKSFORME | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 1 08:54:19 -0800 2006 ------- The response suggests that analysis was somewhat superficial. One of the data source headings, and hence one of the merge fields is a string, "Post Code", containing a space character. If this string is not quoted the result is worse than the redundant paragraph mark - the field is hidden whether or not there is printable data! It may be a design intention to prohibit space characters in spreadsheet column headings, but I can find no such bar in the Help files, nor in any documentation. It would be a strange restriction, but if intentional there should be a very obvious statement to this effect that could not be missed by any installer/user of OpenOffice.org. An obvious workaround is to modify all data sources to eliminate spaces (and any other prohibited characters), but promulgating this to all current users could prove interesting. Finally, the case of imported files in alien formats, e.g. MS Excel, needs to be considered. Spaces are not an issue in column headings in those products.
