You can use your Evolution address books in LibreOffice as a data source. The following steps refer to LibreOffice version 3.3.3.

+ + +

Click EditExchange Database... in the menu bar. This will bring up the Exchange databases dialog box.

+

In the right pane under Available Databases, EvolutionLocal is available as a source. Click on the small triangle to get the list of your Evolution address books.

+

Choose an addressbook and click Define.

+

In case it is not listed already, click Browse.... A file chooser dialog opens.

+

As Evolution stores its data in a hidden directory, press CtrlL to get the location bar displayed.

+

Go to /home/username/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/addressbook.db and click Open.

+
+ +

This makes the Evolution address book the default data source for LibreOffice. You can now select a field to insert into an LibreOffice document via InsertFieldsOther.
