[users] Merging documents

[Freddy Van Ingelgom]

I am trying to replace WordPerfect by OOo in our office. One difficulty 
I found no replacement for is merging documents as we do with WP: We 
have a lot of standard contracts where only a number of "fields" have to 
be adapted to the real world. What I mean is: unther WP we have a sort 
of "data base", in fact a document containing a number of fields 
delimited by a special delimiter, which we use in the "master document" 
where they are inserted at certain places bij placing a code whith a 
sort of "field number".
The "data base" for clarity, is not a database in de the real sence of 
that word, but an document containing text of "a certain" length. Every 
field can contain text of a few words in length or can be several pages 
long.
What we are dooing with WP is simply taking the "master document" and 
the "secondary document" and merge the two together so that every field 
is filled up with the correcponding text from the "secondary file".
Is there a function in OOo that can do this, or should I (finaly) learn 
how to code Macro's?
Your help is, of coarse, greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
Freddy
