Android - Copy Nokia Contacts to Android Phone

In this link you can find the HowTo on how to do this.
In case the link wouldn't work anymore here's how:
  • on the nokia go to contacts and mark all the contacts.
  • Copy all contacts to the inserted microSD card
    The phone will ask to replace all existing contacts on the card. Confirm yes.
  • Connect to the MicroSD card. This can be done by browsing the card after connecting it through cable or bluetooth to a computer or by simply inserting the MicroSD card into a expansion to SD card.
  • Copy the contents of the contacts folder to a local folder. (I'm assuming you're a wise person and using a Unix based OS such as Linux or Mac OS X.
  • Create a single file from all the vcf files by using the command cat *.vcf > MyContacts.VCF
  • Now you need a Google account ... Android is based on Google and ... they seem to work very well together (See later)
  • Go to the contacts and simply import the MyContacts.VCF file into the Google Contacts.
  • Now you can modify the data as you require (merge them, clean them out and so on ... )
  • Now ... in case you had already defined a Google connection on your phone ... you will be amazed but ... all your contacts will be present on you phone ... be amazed by it !!!
    In the other case, simply connect from the phone to your newly created google account ... and also in this case ... be amazed by the wonder of integration!

OpenOffice - Mailmerge and blanc pages

When performing a mailmerge sometimes a blanc page gets inserted.

When searching for this problem on the internet you will surely find this solution which suggests to set the insert blanc page when printing to off.

That solution is a workaround which has to be set in a document. It controls the fact that if a previous section ends on an odd page and the next section starts on an odd page, when printing an even page gets inserted, which is used when printing in duplex/double sided. In a mail merge this section end by default generates the 'even' page and by this the blanc page ...

The problem basically comes from the fact that while doing a print mailmerge to a new single document every instance of a record will be printed to a new section which starts on the odd page. You will notice this in the line starting each printed instance which is in fact a section break.

So you should be able to control the behaviour of the 'section printing' in the document.
