Thanks, Anthony. Actually, I've done that, but it adds another few
steps to mail merges, which I do often. And as I'm a one-person, small
budget organization, every extra step can mean a lot. What I'm
wondering about is whether or not OO is designed to handle CSV as a data
source directly. Documentation suggests it is supposed to be able to do
it, but I can't make it work.

Hi Carl,
Try importing the csv file, then save it as a spreadsheet. You should be
able to use the spreadsheet as a data source.

as the DB type I can't navigate to the correct CSV file to select it.
If I choose Spreadsheet as the DB type, I can navigate to and select
the CSV file, but when I try to use it, OO opens an error dialog that
says it can't create a connection to the file. None of the other
options are appropriate.
Am I doing something wrong? Should I try something else? Can anyone
else use CSV directly as a data source? Thanks.
