I have discovered the problem. As an experiment, I saved the database file under a new, single word name with no periods in it. recruiters.10.05.2006.ods became dud.ods I reinserted the fields using the new database file. This time, the hidden paragraph field worked exactly as expected. It appears that filenames or database identifiers containing one or more periods are a problem in this case. I'm going to file this as a bug. I have to agree with many previous posters to the list: this is a very basic mail merge feature and should be as simple as checking a box. Even when it works (and it often doesn't), it's convoluted and difficult for the regular user. I can see this being a deal breaker for many users migrating from Microsoft Office. -Stephen- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
