Tested with OpenOffice.org 1.9m109 on Windows XP professional, SP2.

1/ Register a csv file as a data source
2/ Create a new merge document
3/ Hit Ctrl-F2, and add a few fields from the document to a line
4/ On the next line, add a "new record" field from the fields dialog
5/ Copy and paste the above two lines down the page. The intent is to be able to
create a formatted list in Writer from the contents of the CSV file.
6/ Merge to a new document

With only a few records, this works. With more than a few (mostly at 7 or 8
records for me, but it seems to vary), the first few records come out, but in
later records blank fields are output. If you comma separate the fields it's
easy to see, you just get lines with a few commas on them.

This sort of "list" merging (MS Office calls it a catalogue merge) is
essentially unusable with this problem at the moment.
