Hi Carl
Now, when I create my document and go directly to step 7, the very first
thing that happens is OOo generates a single merged document. If this
strategy is to stay, this would seem to be the point at which the user
is prompted for whether or not they want blank pages for duplex
printing. In any case, IMO the default should be no blank pages.
I added a comment with this proposal:
As I understand, actually the merge-program changes the first paragraph and
activates automatically the options "insert break" and "with page style".
Why not show this as options somewhere in the wizzard, so that the user
understands what's happening and could adapt it to his wishes.
[x] page break before every new record
[ ] new sheet for every new record
This options could be explained in the help-text.
That would include the possibility, even not to insert a page break. And
that would offer to use the mail-merge to create flexible listings.

Claudia,
Yes, that sounds good, with two clarifications. First, I think the
description of these options should be very clear and understandable to
very basic users (it's still a confusing function to me and I'm fairly
software savvy and have been studying it today). And second, so long as
this prompt will show at any point in the mail merge wizard up to step
7, for the reason I outline above. I don't bother with the wizard
except to create the merged file and/or run the print job. If I get a
chance I'll try to add these comments to the issue. Thanks for your
work on this!
Thanks,
Carl
