I need to know how to print mailing labels from a database. I have typed in 500 names and addresses and cannot print them. It is very confusing. I tried the mail merge because thats what I used on microsoft.

You can merge from Calc without having to use Base explicitly. Base will get involved, but you won't see it. Our church uses an address list in Calc for its mailings.

First you have to create your labels. Remember that the last item on the first label needs to be a "New Record" field and that you must synchronize the labels.

On your menu bar, click "View", then click "Data sources".

Then click "Edit" on the menu bar, followed by "Exchange database". Note that you will be working only with your address spreadsheet in Calc, and will not notice Base.

You'll have to browse for your spreadsheet file, then select the sheet or named range within the file that you want and then click the "define" button.

Sorry to be a little too brief, but must run.

The process is easier done than said.
