I'm a new user working in a system that uses Oo writer for a variety of
text-based tasks, including mail merge lists.
I am trying to make a client's addresses work in a mail merge on a form
letter. One of the address fields is <SuppAddress> entered on the line
before <Address>. My understanding is that if I enter a hidden paragraph
correctly, it should ignore the SuppAddress line and eliminate the space
it would normally occupy.
i. the following mm fields - <FullName>
<HiddenParagraph> <SuppAddress>
<Address>
<CSZ>
will print as below when <suppaddress> is included in item:
John Smith
Apt 12
123 Main St
Town, NY 23310
and should print as below when <suppaddress> is blank in item:
Tom Jones
345 Oak Ln
Town, CA 92331
Instead, I'm getting:
Tom Jones
345 Oak Ln
Town, CA 92331
In setting up Hidden Paragraph, I have gone to Fields / Other / Function
and chosen Hidden paragraph and entered the condition "not(SuppAddress)"
as my documentation
instructs.
When I print my mailmerge list, the space does not go away when the
SuppAddress line is blank (see above).
I'm very frustrated and any help would be greatly appreciated. None of
the support books I have explain this process clearly
The threads on the OOo Forums don't address the issue; I've posted the
problem there.
