Hi Jim,
In Windows I used Word Perfect Office until OpenOffice was in late beta,
roughly 10 years ago. I moved to OpenOffice back then, except then
OpenOffice 1.0 did not have a database, so I continued to use Paradox
from the Word Perfect Office suite. Once OpenOffice had a database, I
think it was in version 2.0, I migrated my Paradox database to
OpenOffice base. That process involved exporting the Paradox data to a
QuatroPro spreadsheet, converting it to an Excel spreadsheet so it could
be read in OpenOffice calc, and then importing the data into OpenOffice
base. That was all done 7 to 8 years ago, so I don't remember the
details. I did find a tutorial on line back then that guided me in the
process, so maybe you can find a tutorial which will help you out. I'm
sorry I can't do better.

Thanks, Don, this isn't my day.
I can see no way to save my calc as a database under Save as. I can find no
import option in base. And copying the entire sheet and pasting to the first
field on a form doesn't work.
Another thing: the column names in the base table are not in exact conformance
with the column names in the calc sheet. The one is in English, for example,
the other in Swedish, and I was hoping for a procedure to assign field names in
the one to field names in the other.

Is your spreadsheet set up as a database with fields? Meaning in the top row, something like
Column 1<firstname>, Column 2<lastname>, Column 3<street>, etc. If it is set up
like that, I know you can import that data into base. If the spreadsheet is setup as a database
with fields in the top row, you could probably do it from there if it is saved as a database and
not just a spreadsheet document. I really don't know though since you are getting out of the
realm of my knowledge. I know you can import database information in calc into base, and I know
you can have great success printing labels from base with the table style templates.

I've checked both LibO and OOo for a how-to or a chapter on this, without luck,
and I've checked the Nabble interface to the users maillist.
Is there any easy way to get an address list in a spreadsheet into a base
database?
TIA
