No, it does not. However if you have paid for MSExchange licenses, please check as this license cost may also be for MSOutlook. However I would not recommend either Outlook or Outlook Express in any case as they are very open to email viruses. This is because these tools are by default on almost every MSWindows PC and are used by most people, and they both have almost the same weaknesses making it very “profitable” for virus writers. It really depends on your platform. A very good cross-platform tool is Mozilla , in recent versions it has a built in calendar and a very good spam fighting tool. On Linux, I use KMail as it has very powerful filtering capabilities. Another very popular graphical email tool is Evolution. There are many other possible tools depending on your requirements for graphical, integrated, PIM or other requirements. There are three main steps: creating the data source, creating the mail merge document, and printing. It's simple once you get the hang of it. Do you have a data source set up that the mail merge will suck its info out of? Tools > Data Sources to create one. Pick the kind of storage mechanism your data is in (spreadsheet is easiest) or the means by which to connect to a database (JDBC, ADO, etc.).* If you want to practice, I would suggest just making a 4-row spreadsheet with data like this John Smith 413 Main Str. Apt 2 Boulder CO 80026 and so on. Save it. In the Data Sources window mentioned above, click New Data Sources, name the data source, select Spreadsheet in the drop-down list, and browse to the spreadsheet you just created. Then click OK and you're good to go. If you're connecting to an Access database or something else, just select ADO as the connection means from the drop-down list, and enter your provider and Data Source filename. This all varies according to what database you're using. Choose File > AutoPilot > Letter and walk through the wizard. It'll let you pick the data source you set up in the data sources window. Then just insert the fields you want. (Another approach is to choose View > Data Sources, create a new writer document, and just drag the fields you want onto the document.) To print, choose File> Form Letter. You get to pick the range of data source records to print to here, then click OK and you get the regular print options window. If you're printing on envelopes MAKE SURE your printer is set up for the same size envelope in the paper tray as you're set up to print to. In the OpenOffice.org directory you have to look at the file share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu to see how this is configured for other email tools. No, but you can use a spreadsheet as a datasource .
