THe following should help you get started: http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/word_processing/writer2_EN.html I doubt that you can work directly from a CSV file but Calc will import this and you can use the spreadsheet as a datasource. There is another HOW-TO that addresses this. See http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/data_source/data1_EN.html Making form letters and labels is also covered in http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo2.x/user_guide2_draft.pdf near page 162 -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
