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

If you are looking to have more than one record on a page, look into the 
<next record> command
Writer automatically assumes next record = next page when merging.

Adding <next record> after last field entered, begins repeat of fields 
on same page.

From menu <Insert><fields><other>, select "next record".

Suppose you have a set of fields.  F1, F2 and F3 in a table.  Add F1, F2 
and F3 on every table row.
At the end of each row in the table, add <next record>  field after F3.

Hope this helps
