This list does not accept attachments. I see that someone pointed you to a how-to. If that didn't help you, then I am going to suggest a different document, Chapter 11 of the Writer Guide, "Using Mail Merge": http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/index.html

I'm not sure just what you are doing, because when I do a form letter, after putting in the fields and the text, I merge the addresses (and create all the letters) by using File > Print and then choosing "Yes" when it asks if I want to do a mail merge.

What are you doing when you try to merge? Does the chapter I suggested above help at all?
