Hello and thank you for your reply!

I am not creating a list. It is a text document. I do not want to see pages side-by-side. I want only to see one page at a time as I create a 3-4 page document.

I do not understand how to change the settings in order for only one page to display as I type. That used to be the common display. Now both MS Word and now Open office think I want to see my document as a book or as pairs of pages across from each other on my screen.

I am attaching a sample. It may be in the PC settings, but I can't open a document in Open Office that just shows one page as I create a 3-4 page document.

Thanks!

Carmen

For my scheme to work, each list entry (the name, that is) needs to be on a

If you'd like to send a sample (one of your lists, for example, assuming
they are all in the same general format), I'd be happy to try to help.
Attach your file to an email to: maur...@stny.rr.com

Thank you Maurice for your example. I am afraid my bibliographies are simple
text files in writer.
Would it possible to follow your advise?
Thanks

Try this (assuming that any "trailing" info is separated from the
actual biographical entry by a TAB):

As with any "new to you" facility, work with a COPY (not your master
file).
Combine the lists (open the first one, then open the 2nd and
copy/paste it at the end of the 1st, then open the 3rd and copy/paste it
to the 1st, etc.
Then select the entire (combined) list and click TABLES.   Unclick MAKE
ALL
COLUMNS THE SAME WIDTH (or words to that effect).  Click the box that
tells the program about the TAB separator.  Then click to build the
table.  Then select the entire table and click TABLE, then the SORT
tab.  If the resulting formatting pleases you, you're done. You'll
probably want to experiment with TABLE/PROPERTIES to keep text for
entries on the same page, etc.  If you prefer that the list NOT be in
a table, select the entire table, go to TABLE and click CONVERT again
but this time use the TABLE TO TEXT option.

This works well for me.  Good luck.

Subject: merging bibliographies

Hello,

I have four bibliographical lists, each has 10-15 pages. In some of
the lists there exists  duplicates bibliographies to be canceled when
one list would be crested.
The lists are organized in alphabetical order.

I wish to create one bibliographical list, containing all the four
together and of course in alphabetical order.

Is this is possible in OO 3.4.1
I am on Mac, with OSX 10.8.2, but I assume it doesn't matter in
regards to commands in OO.

TIA
