Well the current code uses the explicit offset 2 in SwDoc::Paste and
SwFEShell::Paste, which ignores the first content node, which results in
losing the paragraph anchored Flys of the first paragraph of the document.

For a whole document paste, I want the whole document, including the
first node with the pagedesc. This is probably special case for Mail
Merge. I added a boolean to SwFEShell::Paste, so this really pastes the
whole document.

The only user of SwDoc::Paste is SwDoc::CreateCopy. I've merged the
SwDoc::Paste code into SwDoc::CreateCopy. SwDoc::Paste used the fixed
offset of 2 for the source document content offset - same for the target
insert.

No - I really tried to get rid of the whole page.

I pushed my current "works for me" changeset to
private/jmux/mailmerge-fixes. Would be happy, if I can get a review.
