I’m not a programmer/developer but I’m pretty competent at using software,
however, OpenOffice is too tough. I like it generally, I like the concept of
it, but every time I try to do something new, I spend hours first searching out
instructions, then trying them, having them not work, trying again, having them
not work - that is files crashing and virtually wasting my life away. Today, I
cannot get OO to create a database from a spreadsheet I’ve created so I can
print a lousy 100 mailing labels.
First open a new or existing Text document.
Now use the Mail Merge Wizard under the Tools menu
At Step 3 Select a Different Address List which open a menu with
existing databases.
Click add and browse to the spreadsheet with your addresses and select
the Tab with the data.
Now your spreadsheet is registered as a database.
The rest is business as usual.
I could have had half of them written by hand by now. I’m going to have to
buy Word and I hate that.
