My process was this: Make list of addresses in Calc.
Open new document. Open mail merge. Add Calc file to address database. Close 
mail merge.
New->Labels. Make page of labels using Calc file fields.
If I print now, all I get are field names.
Open Mail Merge. Merge document. Computer churns for 60 minutes and uses 200MB 
of ram on 408 labels and does not end up creating a file. Computer is so bogged 
down that I cannot hit the Cancel button. I also do not understand why it was 
making 408 documents. It was supposed to be filling in labels. 

So far the closest I've gotten to getting OO to make labels is by telling it to 
do Data to Field from the Writer screen, which will get me exactly 1 sheet of 
labels.

When I hit print it asked me if I wanted to do a form letter. I thought that 
might use all the data. Instead it wanted to print 408 documents again.

Something is very broken if I can't make simple set of mailing labels. I've 
looked for help on the forums and no one seems to be using 2.0beta, though they 
claim that it worked in 1.1.
