The mystery of the missing mail merge
I didn't know I'd be able to use the Nancy Drew analogy again so soon.
Nancy always gets a tip from a "suspicious event" that something's up. Someone nearly runs her off the road, or Hannah Gruen gives her the mail one morning and there's an odd letter. In the current versions of the book, it's entirely possible that someone will post information on her blog.
Which brings me to my point: The Mystery of the Missing Mail Merge.
Cast your minds back, if you will, to OpenOffice.org 1.4 or so. Back in those days, I taught people to do mail merges with the Address Autopilot. There was another approach, too: very simple and easy. Does this look familiar to anyone?
It was a nice little mail merge tool that let you select your starting document, your data source, and the fields to insert. You got to it by choosing, logically, Tools > Mail Merge.
But where is it now?
