Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer

On the other hand, a variable date is updated every time the document is opened and printed.

A manual update of the fields (i.e. with the F9 key) sets the actual date in the field entered as

Variable date.

If, for example, when inserting a date as a field in a form letter, the user must decide if it is to

be inserted as a fixed or as variable date:

• Where the date should never change; that is, as if the date is typed in directly (without a

field), select a fixed date format. The advantage to using a fixed date field means that the

form letter “can be saved as a template. Using this templates to a create a new form letter

based on that template will have the date will automatically updated to today's date.

• By selecting a variable date, the date will be updated every time the document is opened

or printed.

Apart from the date, there are various other fields which can also be used in a form letter. The

most important fields are the ones which determine where the different elements of the

recipient's address are to be placed. These fields have a direct connection to the database

table which contains the address list. A field will be inserted in the form letter for each data

field, such as name, street, city, et cetera. When printing, Writer inserts the desired data fields

in the fields from each record. In most cases, create the form letter template.

1. File > Wizards > Letter to open the dialogue.

2. Setup the template.

3. Select the database containing the addresses for the form letter.

4. Set the fields as directed by the Wizard
