Help exporting database from Open Office to printer

Ericfr — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 20:35:54 +0000

Greetings All:

I have a quandary with Open Office. I am trying to get a small contact database to print labels. I have tried to export the data, and found no way to create a template using Avery 5160 labels and import data to the template. No can do.

It appears that through OO-Writer I can do something, but all I can do is to do one label at a time, not populate multiple sheets with each label filled with a unique address. Can anyone help? Listed below are the requirements I am dealing with:

1) Over 5000 unique address labels at each run

2) Using Avery Address Labels 5160

3) I have tried to use a view, query, and even a temp table

4) The customer contract requires this database to be used, on a MAC

5) Mailings are required quarterly

Is there anything other information you need?

Regards,

Ericfr

Import data from Lotus notes into Openoffice

Silvius — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:42:27 +0000

I’ve found many articles on the web of how to manipulate Open Office from the outside, but what I need is to manipulate the outside from within Open Office.

We have some spreadsheets which have macros that connect to a Lotus Notes database using COM and we are looking into porting them over to Open Office, however I can’t figure out how to use COM objects from within Open Office macros. I am wondering if this is possible and if not, is there any other way to grab data from Lotus Notes from within Open Office?

With open office 2.4 I could save a text document with a password. I can’t figure out how to do this with 3.0. Is it a discontinued feature?
