Re: [libreoffice-users] Wanted: Macro for removing Page Breaks in MailMerge docs
If you are looking to have more than one record on a page, look into the next record command Writer automatically assumes next record = next page when merging. Adding next record after last field entered, begins repeat of fields on same page. From menu Insertfieldsother, select next record. Suppose you have a set of fields. F1, F2 and F3 in a table. Add F1, F2 and F3 on every table row. At the end of each row in the table, add next record field after F3.

AndrewMacro.odt Read section 7.8.1 Removing Page Breaks Although a page break is added by changing styles, this is not a function of the style itself, so merely editing a style will not do this for you.
