[libreoffice-users] Wanted: Macro for removing Page Breaks in MailMerge docs

[Nino Novak <nn.libo@kflog.org>]

Hi,

when producing MailMerge text documents, semi-automatic Page Breaks are 
inserted which can only be removed manually one by one, but not "all together" 
by e.g. selecting the whole document (Ctrl+A) and removing Page Breaks in the 
Format Paragraph dialog. 

XML shows that paragraphs with page breaks are different from paragraphs 
without page breaks, they bear the name "P4":

<text:p text:style-name="P4"...

In the automatic styles section, P4 has the following property:

<style:style style:name="P4" ...
      <style:paragraph-properties style:page-number="1"/>...

which - I suppose - is responsible for the page break before this paragraph.

Questions: 
- Can anybody tell me, why in these "automatic" type styles the page break 
cannot be removed with Strg+A but only one by one?
- Can anybody give me a hint how to write a Macro which removes those page 
breaks? (If it's possible at all - in Spreadsheets there seems to be a 
function which does a similar job[1], but the described problem might need a 
bit more sophisticated proceeding). 

Thanks,
Nino
