Description wbaker2 2010-09-21 00:52:49 UTC 
Two sections with alternative conditions for being hidden.  When I select a
record from the database query and do a "Data to Fields", the test on the
desired field is done correctly and one of the two sections is hidden... UNTIL I
try to print the document or create a pdf.  Then, everything is appears,
including on the screen!  Print preview is correct (hiding the appropriate
section), but actually printing or creating a pdf result in all sections being
visible.

With dummy database field Paragraph_2_Print = Para1.

Create new document.  Insert two sections.  In first section, type "Paragraph
1", set hide condition to Paragraph_2_Print EQ "Para2".  In second section, type
"Paragraph 2", set hide condition to Paragraph_2_Print EQ "Para1".

F4 to access database, select record with Paragraph_2_Print = Para1.  Then press
"Data to Fields" button.  The result is Paragraph 1 is visible while Paragraph 2
is hidden.  Press "Print Preview" button and preview is correct.  However,
actually print or export as pdf and both paragraphs are produced.

I'm using OpenSuse 11.2, OOO310m21.

@OS: as discussed:
- printing/pdf export of hidden sections over condition seems to be broken since
3.0.
- also printing/pdf export of hidden paragraphs is broken but since 3.0.1.

Can you please handle both in 1 issue?

I had the same problem and by chance I found a thread mentioning that mail merge didn't work correctly if 
'show field names' was checked on the 'view' tab. In my case this was not the issue, but having un-checked 
everything on the 'view tab'  including 'field shading' and 'text boundaries' and also turned off automatic 
updating of fields in 'preferences - open office writer - general ' it now works correctly.

I haven't had time to figure out exactly which of the changes solves the problem, but for now that's a 
workaround.

There are sample documents attached to my dupe of this issue.
