In lotus wordpro - which is next to pure perfection - you have "click 
here boxes", which you place strategically in the places you need to 
type your data. They typically say ">click here to enter the date<" the 
when you do,  it jumps to the next box. All my fax heders and 
letterheads have them.

Also built in to Lotus Wordpro is an internal mini mail merge simply by 
typing "<a new field name>" wherever you need the data , it will save 
all your contact details as you go (mail merge on the fly).

I have to say as yet I have not seen either of these 2 facilities in LO, 
however, I would have thought "click here boxes" were universal and I am 
just not looking hard enough.
