Question

We’re using the Winforms Devexpress Rich Edit control to do Mail Merge for a letter. Given that it’s a letter, each Record from the Mail Merge dataset needs to be on its own page.

I can paginate it easily by adding a “Page Break” at the end of the letter.
BUT when I do this, there’s an extra blank line at the top of every letter after the first one.

How can I get this to paginate cleanly?

(note: there are no blank spaces on the 2nd page, after the page break)

Here’s an update.
DevExpress support solved this issue here.

Please set the MailMergeOptions.MergeMode property to the
MergeMode.NewSection value to accomplish this task.
