OK, I've been here before, with OO 1. OO 2.0.2 on WinXP. I'm trying to
do a mail merge but STILL can't get rid of blank lines. I have a data
source registered and can get the data to merge with the letter. I
insert a hidden paragraph (in the form of "not (<FIELD NAME>)") with the
field name copied directly from the merge document so I know it's correct.
But when I merge, I either get the blank lines showing up, or I get
suppression of all of the lines with that field, whether or not any one
record has data there.
So, for example, I have:
Name
Address1
Address2
City, State Zip
Address 1 has data for some people, not for others. I insert a hidden
paragraph for Address1 (before the field name on the same line). Then
merge the data. If I select Show hidden paragraphs, all lines display
and print, whether there is data or not (blank lines show up). But when
I de-select the View Hidden Paragraphs, all of the lines with the hidden
paragraph function disappear, whether there is data or not.
This is the same behavior as under v.1, and I thought it was supposed to
be fixed in 2.0.2. Am I doing something wrong?
