I have tried what you said to check if it works, but it doesn't!

1. I need to delete all text to let the anchor stay at the top of the document. 
At once I move the object, the anchor moves too and the point of use is gone!

2. If I look it to the first character. The object is deleted when I have to 
delete all text to fix the layout. It also follows the text when I start to 
write. Then the objects move again.

3. The very nice Shift+Arrow movement of object doesn't work with paragraph/ 
character anchor!

4. After I have started to write in the text, I cannot do any changes on the 
layout. Then the anchor will move when I move any object and I have to start 
all over again.

5. If the document has more than one page, I have to put in a page break to 
design page two. Again when merged, I get a blank page two! 

6. Mail merge still messes up the document when using paragraph/ character 
anchor. I have two picture on top of each other and the mail merge move the 
foreground picture to the background, so I only see the background in the 
foreground without the picture which should be there.

Another thing is that the merging is actually working fine with page anchor if 
you use the workaround I will describe. The whole problem is step 7(which is 
another issue I will post soon). I want step 7 removed completely or at least 
get a posibility to skip that step. If step 7 is removed, it will solve many 
problem with page layout and maybe some print settings.

Workaround:
>From the document you want to merge, click on print out and then answer Yes on 
the following question and the merging is working fine, except some other bugs 
that also exist in the mail merge wizzard. But at least, I get the document I 
want with correct printer settings.

This workaround have I used since I started to use OOo for three years ago. 
Actually the mail merge wizzard was working quite good in OOo version 1. There 
were of course many bugs there, but at least you managed to go through the 
whole wizzard to print out a short while.
