I'd like to second the comment above - decent blank line handling is a critical
feature for many office workers.

I've deployed OO 2.0 betas for about 50 users, replacing MS Office 97 as part of
a rollout of new hardware. I'd have preferred to wait for the final version, but
timing was forced on me by external factors, and it was either deploy or buy MS
Office XP. Mail merge is by far the largest problem area that's come up.
Suppressing blank lines is effectively not possible for normal users, the only
work around we have is to create templates with hidden paragraphs set, and tell
users that they have to name their data sources appropriately to use the
templates, which is not an acceptable solution. Most of them are using old
copies of MS Office 97 on machines we haven't retired yet for mail merges.

Please, please fix this bug before shipping 2.0. I'd expect my organisation to
be representative of the average office, and if this doesn't get sorted, we will
have to consider whether or not it's viable to continue with OO. If we don't, I
suspect it'll be a long time before we try again.
