It dóes work, only the label-wizard inserts line-feeds (shft-enters) rather than paragraphs (enters).

OOo 2.0.3RC3, Win XP SP1 It works OK in mail merge, with both 2.0-Wizard and with 1.1.x merge dialog. However, if used with labels (more than one on a page), the labels with a hidden paragraph in it, remain completely empty.

In general, fields are not one per line, and correct action needs to be taken if one or more fields on a single line are empty. For example, a line containing a list of, say, children's names may be present in a mailmerged output. Correct action in this case may be inclusion of a separator such as a comma between non-blank items. Or some label text may need inclusion (eg "NAME=doe FIRST=john MIDDLE=james" where any field may be blank and the corresponding label should not appear). The present UI is amazingly difficult to use - and I count myself a technical person. A non-techie will find this impossible - I fully concur with vreid47362's comments. (Additional OT note: merge to file always generates one file per database entry. This is not always desirable, just like empty lines aren't!) - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=36696 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Aug 10 20:11:36 -0700 2005 --- If development time and budget prevents fixing this issue before OpenOffice 2.0, please consider adding information to the included mail merge help that describes how to accurately configure the mail merge to suppress blank lines when all the fields on the line are empty. Here are my suggestions to add to the help 1. Place information on the mail merge screen stating that the default behavior of the mail merge wizard is to not suppress blank lines caused by empty fields 2. Place a link in the help that will take someone to the help about inserting hidden paragraphs. 3. Explain in the hidden paragraph help that each line that uses this feature needs to be a separate paragraph. Note: On my OpenOffice 1.9.m22 build it appears that the mail merge wizard inserts paragraph breaks now by default. That's good if that is the case. If not, the instructions in 4 and 5 below need to be included. 4. Note that the mail merge and label wizard do not insert paragraph breaks between lines by default. The user must do that manually. 5. Include instructions explaining to the user that the easiest way to confirm a paragraph return is to a. Turn on hidden characters and b. hit the enter key at the end of each line and then backspace to remove the blank line 6. Include a final step-by-step example of how to set up a mail merge with hidden paragraphs if the fields on the line are blank. A suggestion for this example is how to set up a page of mailing labels. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I've deployed OO 2.0 betas for about 50 users, replacing MS Office 97 as part of a rollout of new hardware. I'd have preferred to wait for the final version, but timing was forced on me by external factors, and it was either deploy or buy MS Office XP. Mail merge is by far the largest problem area that's come up. Suppressing blank lines is effectively not possible for normal users, the only work around we have is to create templates with hidden paragraphs set, and tell users that they have to name their data sources appropriately to use the templates, which is not an acceptable solution. Most of them are using old copies of MS Office 97 on machines we haven't retired yet for mail merges. Please, please fix this bug before shipping 2.0. I'd expect my organisation to be representative of the average office, and if this doesn't get sorted, we will have to consider whether or not it's viable to continue with OO. If we don't, I suspect it'll be a long time before we try again. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=36696 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jul 29 15:23:15 -0700 2005 --- The lack of a simple way to hide blank lines in a mail merge created by empty database fields basically makes OpenOffice almost worthless to, I'd say, 90% + of US secretaries. Every company that I've ever worked for or provided consulting to will not tolerate mail merges with blank lines in the address, etc. In addition, when a mail merge might be 500 to 1500 items, it is not cost effective to hand edit the blank lines out. Since becoming a self-employed computer consultant 2+ years ago, I have consistently had clients reject widespread rollouts of OpenOffice because it is nearly impossible for a non-technical person to send a professional looking (read no blank lines in the address sections of letters, labels, and envelopes) without manual intervention. I am pleading with you to not send OpenOffice 2.0 out the door without fixing this basic functionality issue. The steps required, currently, to hide blank lines in mail merges, labels, and envelopes that are caused by blank fields makes it impossible for all but the most technical to make a decent merge. In case you are not familiar with U.S. mail address conventions, here are two common address label formats and examples. 1. , Example Mr. Vaughn L. Reid III Owner Great Big Company 1525 Gregory Street Apt. 227 Anytown, IN 9 - 2. , Mr. Joe Smith Esquire Another Big Company 2344 Big Sky Drive MailStop 44 AnotherTown, IN 34567-3445 It is quite common for an address database to mix records with 2 row (or even 3 row) street addresses with records with 1 row of street addresses. It is also quite common to have a variety of completeness for many records. For example, in a single database some records may both the field and the filled completed others may have one of those field or neither field. This means, that, using the first address sample, you could have records that look like the ones that follow from a single mail merge. The ones with the blank lines, as you can imagine, are quite unacceptable. Here are some incomplete examples. 1. Mr. Joe Smith 124 Way Anytown, IN 43532 2. Joe Smith Owner P.O. Box 9 New Castle, IN 47362-4149 3. Mr. Smith Big Company I Want To Impress 123 Blvd. ATown, RI 12345 As you can see, the current mail merge makes my attempts to impress my customers, etc. futile.
