Try this (assuming that any "trailing" info is separated from the actual biographical entry by a TAB):
As with any "new to you" facility, work with a COPY (not your master file). Combine the lists (open the first one, then open the 2nd and copy/paste it at the end of the 1st, then open the 3rd and copy/paste it to the 1st, etc. Then select the entire (combined) list and click TABLES. Unclick MAKE ALL COLUMNS THE SAME WIDTH (or words to that effect). Click the box that tells the program about the TAB separator. Then click to build the table. Then select the entire table and click TABLE, then the SORT tab. If the resulting formatting pleases you, you're done. You'll probably want to experiment with TABLE/PROPERTIES to keep text for entries on the same page, etc. If you prefer that the list NOT be in a table, select the entire table, go to TABLE and click CONVERT again but this time use the TABLE TO TEXT option. This works well for me. Good luck.

In some of the lists there exists duplicates bibliographies to be canceled when one list would be crested. The lists are organized in alphabetical order. I wish to create one bibliographical list, containing all the four together and of course in alphabetical order. Is this is possible in OO 3.4.1 I am on Mac, with OSX 10.8.2, but I assume it doesn't matter in regards to commands in OO.
