Hi Dan, No, the OOo 1.1.x series does not have mail-merge features. It was taken out of the 1.0.x series and will be in the 2.x series again after people requested it was added back in to the package. The difference is that the 2.0 series have it based on JavaMail from Sun. This is a freely available package, but you also require a special class that is only part of the StarOffice package. The reasoning I have seen so far is that Sun is using Java for the mail merge to make it cross-platform, as any other method is not suitable for Mac and Unix. This is not the case though, as somebody has implemented a macro (MailMergeTest.sxw) to do the mail merge using the existing UNO interface. I have asked Sun for the reason, and I am still waiting for an explanation that is suitable. I don't mind using the JavaMail, but I think that it should be usable for both StarOffice and OpenOffice.org.
