Please bottom post on this list; meaning in gmail just move your cursor to the bottom of this and then reply - thanks :-) I'm not sure, but I _think_ you may be able to do this by using a frame where the member name is inserted. <http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/Frames_for_page_layout> <http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Working_with_frame_styles> I know you can autosize the frame to the object, but do not know if you can autosize the object/text to the frame in Writer (you can do this in Impress). If you can send the basic .odt template then I/we can experiment with the mailmerge name section & possibly provide you with a solution. The list will accept small .odt's, or you can send it to me directly.
