Re: [libreoffice-users] Moving form letter

I'm doing this from memory, but should be pretty close

Open Writer

Click on ,menu <Edit>, <Exchange Database>
In window on right, click on <Browse> button. Find new database .odb and 
select it.
Select the new database on right side, hit '+' to expand and pick source.
Click on <Define> button.

This will update all fields except <next record>.
To tell if you have <next record> field from database, click on menu 
<View”, <Field Names>.

LibreOffice 3.3.2

tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2
