Yes, and I can use spread sheets with the same column headings. Libre Office did not just let me 
merge the template I used in MS Word using the same date sheet in either a .doc file or an .xls 
file. I was hoping there was a easy substitution without redifining the fields. I will experiment 
further in Libre Office.

This Day in Auto History
3.5.1927 
The LaSalle is formally introduced as a companion marque to Cadillac. The Cadillac had been named 
for the explorer responsible for mapping the Great Lakes region of North America for the French 
crown Antoine de la Mothe, Le Sieur de Cadillac, who was born on this day in 1658 in Gascogny, 
France. He is credited as the founder of Detroit, Michigan, which today is affectionately known as 
the Motor City.

I have not merged files in MS since word 6 for DOS, so things may have changed since then. I take 
it you have 2 .doc files, one is the label layout, is the other a comma separated list of the 
information to put on the labels?.
How many labels per page.

I merge performance data (serial number, specifications, test data) from a spread sheet into a 
writer document to print certificates using writer. I have different fonts, formatting and sizes 
of print. Is this what you are hoping to do with your labels.

I am doing a mail merge, although not a letter or an email. I have been doing the merger from 
another .doc file. The template uses multiple fonts with different spacing for each line. For 
the jukebox labels, the type has to fit into boxes to show the phonograph record's artist, and 
the name of the songs on each side of the record...

You're presumably talking about mailmerging?

What (type of file) are you merging into your doc file?

Tentatively, you should just be able to change the fields in your doc
file so that LO recognises them as mailmerge fields (I don't think
it'll automatically  recognise them).

This does depend on the details of how you're doing what you're doing
though.
