have replied at the bottom:
I have rather simple envelope needs. I would like to store some
addressee names for future envelope use.
From what I can see, the way to do this is to set up a database
file, create an envelope using merge fields, then go through a
selective merge each time I want to print an envelope.
Is there an easier way to store addresses for future use? Or is
the above method easier than it seems to me?
Thanks,
Paul
There is no need for a database. Just use a spreadsheet. Put the field
names in the first row.
Open up the Writer document and go to tools/options/OpenOffice.org
Base/Databases and click new and add the spreadsheet.
Now go to view/data sources/spreadsheetName/tables/sheet1 and a window
will open showing the spreadsheet. Just drag the field names from the
heading into the document. You can also set the format to be an envelope
and add a return address.
Every time you print it will ask if you want to merge. The setup is only
done once. It is very easy to add names/addresses to a spreadsheet.
Note that if you make any changes to the envelope document be sure to
save it before printing. Do not save after printing unless you want to
save the merged document.
