Hi  Barbara

I probably forgot to mention that I have a mac - so I do not have access to micro soft word - What I have happening now is - when I try to open the OpenOffice.org 3.0 from my applications file I get a window that says I have 0 kb - so it's still a virtual icon - however with help from a friend, I initiated the installation sequence where I answered questions and got it onto my dock - but it must not be finished because when I try to "open " it from the dock - it still seems to be "virtual"... ( aaarrrrggggh!...) do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

This is also called in MS Word a "catalog." If you have access to MS Word, you will discover that when you use the MailMerge feature for "catalog" that each subsequent record after the first record calls the "Next Record."

OOo's mail merge has this kind of capability (used when creating mailing labels and so on), so the trick would be to set up a template that pulls in the desired fields of a record and then gets the next record. It looks like a pretty standard kind of operation -- once you create a table with the fields inserted from the database, and with the final cell of the row ending with the "next record" field, it should fill in just fine. I'll have to try it, but I think just creating the first data row would be enough. Maybe somebody else can confirm.
