FastMailMerge rationalizes OpenOffice.org Merge functions
Mail merge, the production of multiple documents that differ only in minor details, remains a difficult task in OpenOffice.org Writer. Few use the function regularly, and when they do, the mail merge wizard seems to cause as much confusion as it resolves. Writer's original mail merge feature, retrievable from Tools -> Customize -> Add -> Documents -> Mail Merge is somewhat more straightforward, but, even with it, users are likely to confuse the original document and the information source. In comparison to those other alternatives, FastMailMerge is not only simplicity itself, but a welcome relief that easily lives up to its name.
FastMailMerge is a typical OpenOffice.org extension. After downloading it, you install it from Tools -> Extension Manager, and it is then available the next time you start OpenOffice.org. The only confusion you are likely to have is that it appears on the toolbar of Calc, rather than Writer's.
