I"m using OO2.0.
I had a flat database in dbase (dbf) format created in OO1.1.3. It's my
Christmas card list, hence it's been unchanged in a year and it's
fairly urgent :-)
I've been trying to open it as a database in OO 2 with the aim of
printing off labels. A simple task which I was able to do in 1.1.x, but
eludes me now.
I can open the table as a spreadsheet but I can't turn it into a
database table. I can't find anyway to import the data into a database
table.
Can someone please point me to the relevant "how to"?
I think I've got past the point of rational thought on this, otherwise
I'd probably work it out.
Have you tried using the wizard? That makes your dbase file
accessible to OOo 2.0 as a data source, then you can use File >
New > Labels to set up the labels for printing.
1. In Writer, go to File > Wizards > Address Data Source.
2. On the first page of the wizard, choose "Other external data
source" and click Next.
3. On the next page of the wizard, click the Settings button.
4. Choose dBASE as the Database type and click Next.
5. Continue to follow the prompts in the wizard.
