Dear sirs, I am trying to use version 2.0 of openoffice.I have the same problem with openoffice that I have had with the last two office programs I have tried to use...IT IS TOO COMPLICATED!!!...All I want to do is create a name and address database that I can merge into a mailing label document.
It's very simple (or will be next week, when the release of OpenOffice.org version 2.0.2 is anticipated). Of course, it is different to Works (sound of cheering from the back:-)) so it will require a little effort to learn the new way of doing things.
I'm working on a tutorial at the moment that is intended as a "hand-holder" for people new to OpenOffice.org. It should be finished next week, but in the meantime may I suggest that you create your database in the spreadsheet component (Calc) of OOo, not forgetting to use column headings that map on to your preferred format - these will be used later as the fields in your label and/or mail merge documents.
I use "Title", "Initials", "Name", "Address" etc. Regards Peter HB --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
