------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Aug 12 00:28:39 -0700 2005 ------- IMO this is a more general issue than one of hidden paragraphs. In general, fields are not one per line, and correct action needs to be taken if one or more fields on a single line are empty. For example, a line containing a list of, say, children's names may be present in a mailmerged output. Correct action in this case may be inclusion of a separator such as a comma between non-blank items. Or some label text may need inclusion (eg "NAME=doe FIRST=john MIDDLE=james" where any field may be blank and the corresponding label should not appear). The present UI is amazingly difficult to use - and I count myself a technical person. A non-techie will find this impossible - I fully concur with vreid47362's comments. (Additional OT note: merge to file always generates one file per database entry. This is not always desirable, just like empty lines aren't!) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
