Default Conditional page eject in "Catalogue" mail merge

It works OK, but the "hard page break charakter" does
break the field -- there may not be a paragraph or page break within a
mail merge field.


...I'm not sure what you mean here, because you can certainly insert a page
break and the field works as expected.


It didn't work for me. I used the "Insert" menu, item "Manual break"
(my retranslation from German), chosing "page break". That didn't
work. I had a similar problem last year with a paragraph mark in a
mailmerge field. The processing of the field would end at those hard
marks, either paragraph or page. When I replaced the paragraph mark
with the line brea (SHIFT-ENTER), then it worked.
