If using a CSV file to pass info into OOo won't work is there a guide/FAQ
somewhere that explains how to 'pass variables' into OOo. OOo is running
under SuSE and accessing text files (can be any format) over an NFS
share from SCO OpenServer.

I need to 'grab' client/name and address details and automatically
insert them into a letter/handout without users have to do much clicking.
