href=&quot;http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/&quot;&gt;Free Software 
Magazine&lt;/a&gt; collects several years of experience into an article 
detailing how to &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/mail_merge_openoffice_org&quot;&gt;Mail
 Merge in OpenOffice.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In OOo there are lots of different ways to do mail merge. 
It took some trial-and-error to find the best methods for us, and that is what 
I will be describing here. The first choice to make is database 
format&amp;#8230; I ran across a suggestion to use dBASE files, which have been 
the perfect solution.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;While writing the letter, you&amp;#8217;ll enter variables that are 
custom-filled for each recipient.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You may either type your entire letter first and then add 
the fields to be merged, or you may add the fields as you go. There are (at 
least) two ways to add fields. Using View→Data Sources, you may click on a 
column header (field name) and drag it to the letter in the spot where you want 
the field&amp;#8230; The other method is to place your cursor where you want 
the field, and go to Insert→Fields→Other…, which opens the Fields dialog 
box (see figure 2). Go to the Database tab, and click on “Mail merge 
fields” on the left, then open up your table on the right and select the 
desired field.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The second page in the article covers &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/mail_merge_openoffice_org?page=0%2C1&quot;&gt;using
 mail merge to print envelopes&lt;/a&gt;, a particularly tricky but important 
task.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The third page covers &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/mail_merge_openoffice_org?page=0%2C2&quot;&gt;printing
 labels from a mail merge&lt;/a&gt;, which is what I use mail merge for most 
frequently.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

Magazine&lt;/a&gt; collects several years of experience into an article 
detailing how to &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/mail_merge_openoffice_org&quot;&gt;Mail
 Merge in OpenOffice.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In OOo there are lots of different ways to do mail merge. 
It took some trial-and-error to find the best methods for us, and that is what 
I will be describing here. The first choice to make is database 
format&amp;#8230; I ran across a suggestion to use dBASE files, which have been 
the perfect solution.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;While writing the letter, you&amp;#8217;ll enter variables that are 
custom-filled for each recipient.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You may either type your entire letter first and then add 
the fields to be merged, or you may add the fields as you go. There are (at 
least) two ways to add fields. Using View→Data Sources, you may click on a 
column header (field name) and drag it to the letter in the spot where you want 
the field&amp;#8230; The other method is to place your cursor where you want 
the field, and go to Insert→Fields→Other…, which opens the Fields dialog 
box (see figure 2). Go to the Database tab, and click on “Mail merge 
fields” on the left, then open up your table on the right and select the 
desired field.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The second page in the article covers &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/mail_merge_openoffice_org?page=0%2C1&quot;&gt;using
 mail merge to print envelopes&lt;/a&gt;, a particularly tricky but important 
task.&lt;/p&gt;

 labels from a mail merge&lt;/a&gt;, which is what I use mail merge for most
