You need to think about what you really want. You want a document with
an address in it. A mail merge is easy if you want to select an
address from a file. This inverts what you want, which is to start
with an address then add a letter, but it should work.
If you have several standard address files and multiple standard
letters that you want to merge - to send a standard letter to a
particular person - then you can either do the mail merge from the
letter or you can start with your template and cut and paste the
address into it. If that is too much effort, write a macro to run when
the template is opened to prompt you for the address file. If you
insist on starting with the address, write the macro to append the
letter to your document.
If the problem is simply that the .rtf files are wrong, try modifying
them in OOo Writer to be the size and position you want.
In any event, what you are asking is far from clear. Perhaps you could
post an example or some more details?

Hi
i think i am stupid i cannot find a clue.
Mail merge will not work for me. When i use the wizard
he immediatly puts the data in my document . That does not work for
me .
I want to change the csv (wich has only 2 lines a header and 1 line of
data) file
with a little perl script to put a adres in from our accounting program.
Then i want to open a template and oops and there is a letter with the
right adress in it
Is this so difficult ? or am i stupid. Probably the last.
Is there a simple way to get this done.
In microsoft office i put adres , and other data in little rft files.
Inserted the file and let both file be connected if the rtf changes
the doc
changes
This also works in openoffice but openoffice makes my rtf pagewide
(it is
only 6 cm wide in rtf)
When i make it smaller to get my adres in the right place my text goes
smaller to.
I want to get rid off microsoft I don't like there policies.
When this problem is solved i can leave microsoft behind and i will be a
happy guy.

the
QUERY function to select your records.
