There is a wizard for that, but even Open Office 3.1 makes this
unnecessarily complicated and downright annoying, e.g.:<br>
<meta http-equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 3.1 (Linux)">

<p>Place the cursor at the last text position (after the last
field) in the first label.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Choose <b>Insert - Fields - Other</b>, and go to the <b>Database</b>
tab.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select the type <b>Next record</b>, click on <b>Insert</b> and
then on <b>Close</b>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You can now synchronize the labels. Click on the <b>Synchronize</b>
<b>Labels</b> button in the small window.</p>

I just finished a job for distribution next week, and having found
gLabels vastly easier would recommend it to anyone over dealing with
Open Office for this task.<br>

I haven't done this for years, but if I recall correctly, there is some
database connection wizard in OpenOffice that allows you to use kaddressbook
data without having to install gLabels, and gives you many more merge options.
