Is the Mail Merge function missing in the OS X version of OpenOffice? I see it in the Help screens as a Form Letter function, but it is missing from the File Menu as illustrated in the Help file. If so... wow, that is a pretty essential feature to be missing.

Mail merge is OK in every flavour of OOo I tested. What are missing is template documents to start with.
First create some sort of database, dbase, spreasheet or imported text file.
Then declare it to OOo. Then create your document, insert database fields in it. At last merge in database records. All steps are described in the help. As asxless mentionned, in an other thread on an other forum on an other server , the help is often not enough to learn using OOo feature. There are more comprehensive docs on the OpenOffice web site.
