Hi :)
I am not certain how to do this but it 'should' be fairly easy.  it probably 
isn't but it should be.  

I am not sure if it makes a difference but do you happen to know  the name of 
the back-end used by Salesforce?  Is it MySql?

There are some tutorials on using Base which might (or might not) help 
http://www.spoken-tutorial.org/list_videos?view=1&foss=LibreOffice-Suite-Base&language=English
also a handbook
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Base_Handbook
and an FAQ
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Base

Hopefully someone on this list can either help directly or pinpoint more 
specific links found through the above or from elsewhere.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
