Thanks for all of this. The only wizard I've used on this is the mailmerge wizard, which I can't avoid (can I?) Is that the only "manual", or is there a way to edit the file more manually than that, presumably not through Writer. Is it just xml?
Yes, every line has a conditional paragraph field at the beginning of it. A couple of them probably don't need it, every address label will almost ceratinly have some kind of person's name for example, but I put it there anyway. They seem to be in the right place (before the database field) and contain the right conditions. I could see them when I turned on "view field names", and that let me look at their properties more easily. These problems show up without an expert to pdf, I see them just at the "Edit document" stage of the mailmerge wizard, although I also went to the next stage, and they do appear there too.
