Gary, you seem to do very complicated things. It might be interesting if
you could document what you do along with the solution that you adapt.
Just something to think about.

Finally decided to just use a section and hide or reveal it using the
normal OOo mail merge functions. Not as much control as I'd like, but
it gives reasonable output. :)

Once more into the breach in my attempts to add an "Attn:" line to a
form letter.
Obviously the easy way to do this would be to turn the paragraph's
visibility on and off. However, if that is possible, I can't find a
way to do it. IsVisible only seems to apply to spreadsheet rows and
columns.
Thus, the second solution is to insert the new fields I need, then
remove them if I decide I don't need them (based on whether or not
they contain anything). However, I have not been able to find
anything on how to do this either. There is some information on
inserting the normal fields (those listed in the Insert | Fields
menu) but nothing on how to insert the "other" fields.
Using the macro debugging facilities, I have found a mention of the
fields I have statically inserted into the document (i.e. by using
the Insert | Fields | Other... menu). They're in TextFieldMasters |
ElementNames but that doesn't seem to help me - I can't relate it
back to how to insert "normal" fields.
Sadly, Andrew's document on databases is missing the chapter on mail
merges. :(
