Peter Hillier-Brook's detective work uncovered the reason (or at least one
reason) why some people are able to get the "hidden section" technique of
suppressing blank lines in mail-merged labels and other documents to work,
and others can't. Here is the notice I have just added to the "Using Mail
Merge" chapter in the Writer Guide:
/snip
In 2.0.1 there is a more user-friendly way of suppressing blank lines, but
it has only been implemented for mail merge, not for labels. If people
wish to have a method for labels implemented sooner please vote for issue
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=61021
I've just carried out a test of the Mail merge facility before
considering a vote for 61021: I've never seen as many redundant
paragraph marks in my life!
The entire, created document is populated with empty paragraphs as a
spacing methodology, just as if a drunken typist (apologies to any sober
ones:-)) had met their first word processor, after a lifetime working
with typewriters. And non of the blank address fields had been suppressed.
Please, please don't vote for this as a way forward for label creation.
