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
