Writer Guide

Mail Merge E-mail options
You can produce form letters using Writer and then use the mail merge
function to personalize those letters and send them to a number of
addresses taken from a data source, such as an address book. Mail
merged documents can be printed and mailed, or sent by e-mail.
Use the Options – OpenOffice.org Writer – Mail Merge E-mail page
(Figure 47) to set up the user and server information for sending form
letters by e-mail. If you are not sure what information to put in any of
the fields, consult your e-mail program or your Internet service
provider.

Choosing options for HTML documents
You can configure OpenOffice.org to treat HTML documents in Writer
differently than regular documents.
1) If the Options dialog box is not already open, click Tools >
Options.
2) Click the + sign by OpenOffice.org Writer/Web in the left-hand
section of the Options – OpenOffice.org dialog box. A list of
subsections drops down.
Here you can customize settings related to printing, formatting aids,
view options, table defaults, the grid, and a default background for
HTML documents you're working with in Writer.
