Thanks for your answer ! I think I have to clarify:

The problem is not synchronization. The problem is if you need to manually edit
SPECIFIC labels and not all the sheet: you can't do it before merging, and you
can't even do it after merging.

Yes, indeed, you can view the merge in step 6 of the assistant. But if you
agree on 2bis, you won't use the assistant anymore, so you also need a way to
have an overview.

3. Yes, you can do that, but I think it would be better to also include an "Add
data source" button directly in the mail labels' first window. I suppose it
would not be difficult to add, but it would be far more intuitive.

As you suggested, I will ask on
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/ if I have time.
I can also create a new specific bug report if you think is the good way to do,
but I would prefer before to agree with you and others on what should be
improved and what should stay like that : this will permit to do better
"specific" bug reports.

Thanks for reading,
Yvan
