--- Comment #3 from Jim Avera <[email protected]> --- Upon deeper investigation (using the "xray" tool), the problem seems to be that Mail Merge sets the "PageDescName" property instead of setting "BreakType" to cause a page break. The OO Api docs say "If this property [PageDescName] is set, it creates a page break before the paragraph it belongs to and assigns the value as the name of the new page style sheet to use." AFAIK this property is not a visible feature which can be controlled directly via the user interface, but can only be manipulated via macro code, etc. However, using the Format Paragraph dialog on a *single* paragraph does cause the "Break" checkbox to be checked if PageDescName is set (even though BreakType==0, which normally means no break); and un-checking the checkbox clears PageDescName. However this does not happen when formatting several paragraphs at once. ---- So I'm wondering *why* does Mail Merge use this obscure feature, rather than simply setting BreakType=4 (and, if it wants a different style for some reason, setting PageStyleName accordingly)? On the surface, it doesn't seem like the PageDescName property provides any unique functionality. If it is not necessary, then maybe Mail Merge should not use it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
