            Bug ID: 138957
           Summary: Mail merge to labels in Writer creates extra blank
                    pages
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: bill.sparrow at uwclub.net

Description:
When I run a mail merge to mailing labels it creates an extra blank page
between each page. I have found from the forum that I can prevent these blank
pages from printing by going to Tools / Options / LibreOffice Writer / Print /
Print automatically inserted blank pages and remove the tick, but why is it
creating them in the first place?

(Besides, turning off that option would mess things up if I was, for example,
printing a book that needed to have all chapters starting on a right hand
page.)

Having the pages of labels identified on screen as 1, 3, 5 as I scroll through
the document is really confusing! If I want to print a single page of labels, I
have to bear in mind that to print the page that is identified on screen as
page 5, I need to select page 3 in the print dialog.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a spreadsheet of mailing addresses
2. Create a Writer document of mailing labels using this as a source database
3. Run the mailmerge and print the resulting document

Actual Results:
An extra blank page is inserted into the merged document between each actual
page of labels. The blank pages are not displayed on screen in the merged
document, however the pages that are shown are numbered 1, 3, 5...

Expected Results:
The merged document should consist of a continuous series of labels


Reproducible: Always
