Since an experience with a Debian derivative some years ago I *always* 
install the original product from the LibreOffice web site. Much as I 
respect and admire Debian I'm not happy with re-packaged LibreOffice 
products.

Moving on, it is beginning to look as if my problem lies with Bookworm, 
or KDE: my other computers do provide the Address Book features with 
which I'm accustomed so further investigation is warranted.

Sorry for the noise.
