</info>
<title>Contacts in LibreOffice</title>
<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>~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/addressbook.db</file>
and click <gui style="button">Open</gui>.</p>
</item>

document via
<guiseq><gui>Insert</gui><gui>Fields</gui><gui>Other</gui></guiseq>.</p>
