Mail merge in Libreoffice
I'm looking for a way to do a mail merge job in LibreOffice. I've tried the Mail Merge tool but that doesn't seem to do what I want.
What I'm doing is the create simple emails that say 'Hi ' and then include some further information in the body of the text. I'm quite happy to produce LibreOffice documents then copy and paste each into Gmail as a new email.
I've created a spreadsheet with the data in and registered it as a data source, like I would do for labels.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I have found the following method:
- Do Ctrl-F2 to bring up the Fields dialog
- Chose the Database tab, select Type 'Mail Merge fields'
- Under 'Database selection' select my spreadsheet and Sheet 1, then show its fields
- Put the cursor in the place I want a field, highlight the field and click Insert.
- When all fields inserted, save the changes.
- Got to the File menu and select Print. The procedure then is the same as for Labels
