For KOffice2 any and all serial letter stuff is missing; I was waiting for 
kexi to become more integrated with KOffice, but there still is no way to get 
data out of kexi and no flake integration either :(

I'm not sure what to do as development on kexi seems to again move away from 
KOffice integration. Which makes me a bit sad.

I'm not yet prepared to give up on kexi being a datasource for exactly these 
kind of usecases,  It was one of my main examples of how to provide a flake 
integration for kexi and it still looks like a great way to do it.
Maybe someone is up to the task to add it as a koffice-wide plugin? :)

Basically the flake would use the kexi library and have a specific tool to 
edit data (much like the widgets you saw in KWord, but then based on the kexi 
library). You can have the tool work with kotext to insert text in a current 
text document (KoTextSelectionHandler) on a text document.  But naturally a 
kexi-specific shape that shows some kexi specific stuff (not sure what) is a 
possibility.

Cheers!
