Our church uses OOo Writer for mailing labels, too.
It sounds like you are missing only one step; you need a "Next record"
field at the end of your mailing label.
After you've created the label with the proper fields for the name and
address info, click at the very end of the first label so that your text
insertion cursor is blinking there, then click "Insert" on the menu bar,
move cursor to "Fields", click "Other". Go to the "Database" tab on the
"Fields" dialog and click on "Next record". Make sure the the
"Condition" box says "TRUE". Click "Insert". Return to your label
document and click "Synchronize labels".
Note that you want to print a mail merge rather than filling the labels
from the database. In the first case you'll get all the names, in the
second you will get only one page of labels.
