Description jumbo444 2010-11-22 17:55:03 UTC 
Hello,

When you make a mail merge, if the last paragraph of the starting document
contain bullet, than bullets will be add to all paragraphs, starting from the
2nd record.
Steps to reproduce:
- new writer document
- insert a field from a data base
- add a 2nd paragraph, with bullet; 1st paragraph remains without bullet
- select print command; answer Yes to print a form letter
- print merged document
=> printed document contains bullets on all paragraph from 2nd record

To avoid this, you need to add an empty paragraph without bullet at the end of
the starting document (set character size at 2 if needed to keep page layout).

This is a regression from previous version.

I built first document "testMailMergeWithBullet.odt" with Page field from
Bibliography data base, and a line with a bullet.

When I merged with OOo 3.3.0 RC6 on WinXP (fr), I got
"testMailMergeWithBullet-Merged.odt" file. From page 2, there bullets on all
lines. Only a bullet on the last paragraph was expected.

Is it more clear?

Reproducible with simple Calc spreadsheet as database.
Just have a page where the first paragraph contains a mailmerge field and the
second/last paragraph is formatted with a bullet. Print (I tested with PDF as
target) form letter -> the bullet is now applied to all other paragraph from
page two on.
