Description phillg 2003-01-18 17:29:50 UTC

When using the labels auto-pilot there should be an option to add in the
hidden-paragraph fields automatically,  
i.e. if the option is checked then adding the field 
Members.Scotland.Address1 
should be prefixed with 
HiddenParagraph.not(Address1)

Also. Option to leave some labels empty (when some stickeys are 
already removed from paper and I want to print the rest ones). 
 
Also, when I have more labels than one page. Then what? As far as I 
searched, I cannot print more than one page.

Issue 15100 has now been fixed which was blocking this enhancement. 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but surely the sudo code for this is along:

* Tick Box "Hide blank lines" on GUI which sets HBL

Insert Database Field Names routine {
if HBL = 1 then
  insert hiddenparagraph(not($FIELD)).$FIELD
else
  insert $FIELD
endif

I'm creating labels using OOo's File->New->Labels feature, but several
of my labels have empty field values, and I'd like to suppress their
output when I do a mail merge.

Currently:
--------------
John Doe

Something, CA 38924
------------------------------

What I'd like:
----------------
John Doe
Something, CA 38924
------------------------------

Avery Wizard and MS Word offer a feature like Suppress Blank Lines. 

Thanks very much for your considering this bug.

Not a duplicate of 20057 as this other issue never approached the UI for hidden
paragraphs.

Comment 9 phillg 2004-11-04 17:21:37 UTC

Opening new bug as this hasn't been addressed in 1.9 so far...  :-(
