* Create a new, blank document
* mark the current character (i.e., the only caracter in the document) as hidden
* choose Tools -> Mail Merge Wizard -> Use current document -> Letter 
* use an OOCalc table as source (I created a new one with some entries for name,
address etc.)
* choose the matching fields 
* check to insert address block and salutation
* choose Next leaving default values for everything else 

OO hangs on step 5, Adjust layout. 

The error also occurs (reproducibly) with some (not all) documents that contain
hidden as well as non-hidden characters. It seems to depend on the number and
position of the hidden characters. I tried to mark more and more parts of a
document as hidden, but I couldn't figure out any particular starting point of
the error. Here, OO may also hang or crash on step 7, Personalize document
(while creating document 1 of ...).

It concerns the wizard only - I can insert mail merge fields by hand (Insert ->
Fields -> Other ...) and print the result correctly. 

I am using OpenOffice 2.0 (DE)
