Thanks, Tom. I've been away for a while. These links are handy, but on
a quick look don't answer my questions. But...I'll keep looking.

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 :)

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? I only see the wizard, but
what if I've already created a document and just want to change a few
fields? I don't want to have to enter a wizard and work through the
entire thing just to edit that document. That function might also allow
me to hand-enter field names for this merge document.

Hi all,
I need to create a mail merge that will, I hope, be used with
Salesforce for mail merge communications. I need to create a document
with manually entered merge fields where the source database has not
(and probably can not - at least with my current skills) be registered
with LibreOffice. Salesforce is a web-based database service that has
strict limits on connections outside of web browsers.
In short, what I'd like to do is create mailing labels, type in the
merge fields as they need to be typed (to work with Salesforce), then
save and upload the document. I can't find any way to do this. Is
there a way? Also, Salesforce provides some templates for the merges
and I can see what I need to do, but the fields they provide in their
templates are not relevant to what I need, and I can't replace their
merge fields with the ones I do need.
Thanks.
