|
|
|
<p>You can use your <app>Evolution</app> address books in LibreOffice as a data source.
|
|
The following steps refer to LibreOffice version 3.3.3.</p>
|
|
|
|
<steps>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>Click <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Exchange Database…</gui></guiseq>
|
|
in the menu bar. This will bring up the <gui>Exchange databases</gui>
|
|
dialog box.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>In the right pane under <gui>Available Databases</gui>,
|
|
<gui>EvolutionLocal</gui> is available as a source. Click on the small
|
|
triangle to get the list of your <app>Evolution</app> address books.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>Choose an addressbook and click <gui style="button">Define</gui>.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>In case it is not listed already, click
|
|
<gui style="button">Browse…</gui>. A file chooser dialog opens.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>As <app>Evolution</app> stores its data in a hidden directory, press
|
|
<keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>L</key></keyseq> to get the location bar
|
|
displayed.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>Go to
|
|
<file>/home/username/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/addressbook.db</file>
|
|
and click <gui style="button">Open</gui>.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
</steps>
|
|
|
|
<p>This makes the <app>Evolution</app> address book the default data source
|
|
for LibreOffice. You can now select a field to insert into a LibreOffice
|
|
document via
|
|
<guiseq><gui>Insert</gui><gui>Fields</gui><gui>Other</gui></guiseq>.</p>
