@Rainer Bielefeld:

Unfortunately, function from Mail Merge Wizard DOES NOT WORK fine for me as it
seems to be affected by my OOo bug 88451 (mail merge deletes section on save to
one, http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88451): it seems to create
the individual documents by going through a combined document, all target pages
are splitted into two pages. Saving to individual documents did work in OOo
3.2.1 and kept the layout, with LibreOffice 3.3.0/1 I have NO WAY to print my
mail merge letters other than using F4, values to fields, print normal, select
next row, values to fields, print normal, ... Fortunately I have usually not
more than 30 records, so this is possible, it would not work with significantly
bigger tables. This IS a show stopper.

And about the wizard: I tried to train secretaries to use the wizard, without
much success. The straightforward direct approach was much more successful, so
I believe most frequent mail merge users will not use the wizard at all,
especially in companies. So this regression should be fixed ASAP.
