I just tried a simple "Copy, Paste" from a Calc file into a Writer file,
and my part of the Calc file was entered into the Writer file as a Table.
If that is not what you were asking, give the missing information.
Normally, Calc files are not produced by something like Access, but by a
program like Excel. Maybe your problem is related with that.

I sure hope someone is awake and knows how to merge data into a Writer
document from a Calc document. I started with Access 2000 data and
finally managed to get it into an OOo 2.0.4 Calc file. For the life of
me I cannot figure out how to get Writer to see the Calc file as a
source of data that can be merged into the Writer document.
The data has 14 fields. I want to merge only five of them, and I need
to merge them in a different order than they appear in the Calc
document. Once, a long time ago, I did this in Writer 1.something on
Windows. A window is supposed to pop up and you can select which fields
you want. You can even apply styles, and add other static text in front
of or after each field. I KNOW it can be done. But now that I am on OOo
2.0.4 Linux I cannot figure out how.
I also know I am suppoed to do F4 to open the database window. The
window opens, but I cannot get the Calc document to appear in it. I
tried creating new databases, but that accomplishes nothing -- there
are four now in the F4 window, and I also can't figure out how to get
rid of them.
The Help files are not very helpful. All I can find is that what I want
to do is easy. But the authors of the Help file must have felt it was
so easy that it wasn't necessary to say how.
I would be eternally grateful if someone could give me step by step
instructions for getting a Calc file to appear in the F4 window?
