All,

Thanks for the replies - I think.  First, you can't do this with cut and
paste because the formatting is just columns.  This is (hint) like a
database report where the comment field is placed under the description
field (see below).  The fields in the spreadsheet are: Date, Sender,
Subject, Description, Comment.  What I want is to have all records
printed on one page (or two if needed), not one record per page like
mail merge typically does.

Writer has data sources, and you can select fields, I just have not
figured out how to fill the fields so they are printed like below (one
record after the other).

However, I believe it is possible to use Base to create the report I
want.  I'll investigate that approach later today.  Any other helpful
suggestions welcome.

Dave,

All,

I have a small Calc file of information I want to put into Writer - like
mail merge, but the data is not address.  What is the best way to do
this?

The data is actually: Date, Sender, Subject, Description, Comment.  Waht
I want to do is something like this:

Date     Sender     Subject       Description/Comment
1/15/14  Mr. Black  Order Conf.   Confirmed the order.
                                  Will be able to ship by 2/1/14

1/16/14  (me)       Ship date     Shipping date 1/30, UPS

2/1/14   Mr. Black  Order Rec'd.  Order was delivered.
                                  Customer called to thnak us!
