No idea, except to say that your field name format looks odd to me - none of mine have slashes in them. Also, fwiw, when creating the sections, I believe I selected each line, then did Insert | Section. I've dumped my example text at http://www.scottsonline.org.uk/testing/test.odt which has the first half using sections (and seems to work), the second half an abortive attempt with hidden paragraphs (doesn't work; playing with the conditions here crashed OOo). I can't really publish my home address book :-) But look at the field names and conditions (View | Field Names and Format | Sections) and tailor to your own db. -- various incoming sites blocked because of spam; see http://www.scottsonline.org.uk for a list and openpgp crypto key (key fingerprint 2ACC 9F21 5103 F68C 7C32 9EA8 C949 81E1 31C9 1364) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
