First row in the third chapter in German Base-Handbuch: Datenquellenbrowser Über den Datenquellenbrowser im Writer oder in Calc erhalten sie Zugriff auf Tabellen und Abfragen der registrierten Datenbanken unter dem dort angegebenen registrierten Namen. or translated by Google: Data source browser The data source browser in Writer or Calc gives you access to tables and queries from the registered databases under the registered name specified there. Don't know if somebody has lost this while translating the Handbuch.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Question about BG6207.
Hello Dan, For your First Question: The paragraph says that the heading of the table inserted in writer can be taken from the field names in the database table by clicking on "Insert table heading" and selecting "Apply column name". or you can insert a blank row on top of the table to insert the heading of the table manually by selecting "Create row only" after checking " Apply column name "(see figure 5). The second option is better according to me as in most of the cases, field names can be confusing, so a different heading can be given. In this case also, you need to be in writer or calc.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Question about BG6207.
Hello Dan, Regarding your second question: Yes, You are supposed to be in Writer when doing this. The heading given is Mail Merge. The chapter is linking database and mail merge is one of the way to do this. The instructions written in the guide are clear (or rather I will say, will become clear) except the fact the you have to do so in writer is not given. I took it for understood that mail merge should be done in writer only, so I didn't mentioned it. You can mention it after the heading "Mail Merge" before returning the chapter to feedback folder.As you say you have not used mail merge since before 2008 so either you can try mail merge or refer to writer guide for more clearer instruction. Well, we can also refer to writer guide there. Kindly add the reference there.
