I have an exisiting ms Pub document that I have setup to mailmerge numbers from an external Excel sheet - can LibreOffice Draw do that as well - I mean can it mail merge info to a field in the Draw document ?
Thanks for any help.

Draw supports database forms with form controls. Contrary to mail merge fields which are elements of surrounding text, form controls are boxes with fixed widths. In order to generate one Draw document per record, you would need a farly simple macro (print/save -> next record -> print/save, ...)
