Hello Dan,
Regarding your second question:
Yes, You are supposed to be in Writer when doing this. The heading given is
Mail Merge. The chapter is linking database and mail merge is one of the
way to do this. The instructions written in the guide are clear (or rather

Hello,
Sorry to butt in after being absent so long, but I'm worried about these
proposed rules.

sentences and paragraphs when possible. On the other hand, I'm uneasy about
rules like Peter's (1) and (2) stipulating
Hi Peter, all

Hello Bernard
The use of “never” is deliberate as it does make it easier to translate
English. Also, using the “Never” items in a document does make it harder for a
user whose mother tongue is not English to understand what is meant. I have had
