I was wondering how you incorporate the address book (I use Thunderbird)
and it took me all of 10 seconds using the wizard. My first love was
WordPerfect but I had to give that up years ago because of conversion
problems with M$Word. I then said "sod it" and changed to TeX. I use OO
for editing other people's work and quick stuff.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan

I'm still just starting to experiment myself, and I would be grateful to hear of others' approaches.

The View Data Sources feature (F4) is very handy. From there I can view and filter tables and queries. I can drag fields or records into my document, or click the mailmerge button to insert address blocks or other merge information.

I've hardly started experimenting with the possibility of using the Base application for accessing and using address book information.

Overall, it seems to be a very flexible system which I look forward to exploring more. I'm also sure there's a lot of room for improvement, including cooperation between OpenOffice.org and Mozilla, for example.
