Hello,
I've only just downloaded Open Office 2 a few days ago so I'm new and
maybe the query has been handled in the tutorials - I just can't find
it. Where I do a mail merge from a Calc spreadsheet to Writer and I want
multiple records on the one page as in labels or a catalogue, I need to
insert the next record field. My problem is that even when I have the
program in show hidden characters mode I still can't tell whether or not
I have already entered the next record field or the record number field
so I can end up missing them or putting them in twice.. is there a way
of showing an icon or marker or something so that I know when I have
already inserted those fields?

View -> "Field Names" may help.
Also use "Tools" -> "Mail Merge" and select your Calc file as the source of your data.
