Mail merge: strange results (doubled pages)

Hi,

I've performed a mail merge on approx. 970 records from a Base DB.
The result is good, but all pages are doubled (I mean I get 970x2 pages), one filled with data, the other simply black. So odd pages are filled, pair ones are blank!!

I've tried re-making it all from scratch, still no progress...

I'm on Ubuntu 8.04, latest OOo version from repo.

Thank you in advance Very Happy

When you mail merge a document with an odd number of pages this will happen. Heres a macro that will help you avoid this by doubling the size od the document or merging in a different manner.
