Well, this would be like a reference on how to use a programming 
language. Either you can actually use it or you follow more or less 
obscure instructions.

It would really help if LibO would drop the entire Base component with 
address sources and everything, letting the user import raw spreadsheet 
data as embedded XML structures into serial letters. So they get a 
feeling of empowerment when they freely drag around, import and export 
their data copies. They would not even blame anyone for the results.
An abstraction layer like Base is beyond user's imagination even though 
it can be used in very creative ways. Using software tools in creative 
ways is mere expert skill.
