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 :) >________________________________ > From: Carl Paulsen <[email protected]> >To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Sent: Monday, 12 August 2013, 23:22 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Mail merge manual field entry > > >A related question, which may help me figure out what I need, is how >does one manually work through a mail merge?
