I want to use a calc file as a data source to make labels. However, adding a 
calc file as a data source is not easy. From the Data Sources explorer, there 
is no add button. From the Labels wizard, there is no add button. I had to 
start a mail merge and select an address source from there in order to add a 
Calc file.

>From the Options -> Openoffice.org Base -> Databases menu there is also no 
option to add Calc files.

Yet, once I can find a way to add the file, I can eventually use the data. 
Since I believe that lots of people use spreadsheets for address information 
rather than databases, it should be easier to add the Calc files as data 
sources. There should be a button for it from the Data Sources explorer. There 
should be a button for it in the Label wizard. And I think something should be 
done to move the Openoffice.org Base menu option to something that makes more 
sense given that Calc files can and should be data sources in addition to 
having databases as data sources.
