I am reviewing "Introducing Base". Somehow the section briefly
describing how Base and the other components work together, so I am
having to add material here. I still hope to have this done in the
next couple of days.
Using F4 or View > Data Sources in Writer, we have access to all
our registered data sources. This permits us to do mail merges for one
thing. Data in table form can be copied into a text document in
Writer. Tables in Writer can be use to create a new table in a data
source, we choose whether this new table in the data source does or
does contain data from the Writer table, or we can append data from
the Writer table into an existing table in the data source. (I'm not
sure how clear this is to anyone.)
Here is my question: I know that Mail Merge is a chapter in Writer.
But where should the instructions be for the other uses of Base and
Writer together? Writer Guide, or Base Guide?

Sometimes it pays to read the Base Guide outline. That is where I found
the answer: the things I mentioned belong in the Base Guide.
