Hello Christopher, first thank you very much for taking interest in this
issue.

I've done your test and it works perfectly, as for you. This because
your file is too simple (see infra).

My system datas today:

$  lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 10.10
Release:        10.10

$ apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
libreoffice-writer:
  Installé : 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1
  Candidat : 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1
 Table de version :
 *** 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu/ maverick/main 
amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So I've prepared files (in attachment) so that you can watch and even
reproduce the problem:

In the file Test Mailing Result S&R extension.odt, you can see that the
result is perfect using AltSearch plugin by Tomas Bilek: all the records
on one page, the styles are safe, no blank lines.

In the file Test Mailing Result S&R built-in.odt, you can see that,
using the Search and replace fonction of LibreOffice the replacement
doesn't work before a page break (and when using my own (not testing)
big file, the styles may disappear too).

The file Test Mailing Result.odt is the result of the mailing; it is the file 
on which I make the Search & replace ^$.
The file Test Mailing Pattern.odt is the model on which I make the mailing.
The file Test Spreadsheet.ods is the table for the mailing.
The file Test Base.odb is the corresponding base.

I hope that all this may help you and I'm ready to answer to any other
question.
