  <title>Contacts in LibreOffice</title>

  <p>You can use your <app>Evolution</app> address books in <app>LibreOffice Writer</app> as a data source.
  The following steps refer to LibreOffice version 5.4.</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>
  </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>Field</gui></guiseq>.</p>
