In windows 11, My version of Open Office 4.1.12 doesn't have the option under the Wizard tab for Address Data Source, nor does it have the File>New> option listed in this help. I need to create mailing labels from a Calc spreadsheet of CSV file with the address information. How do I create the data file and register it so the Open Office can find it?

csv is a database exchange format in plain text. csv is not a spreadsheet format.

menu:File>New>Database...
Type: Text
Specify the directory where you save the csv file (and possibly similarly structured ones)
Specify the import details (separators etc)
[X] Register database
Save database
Use database
