You know, I thought I knew how to do that and was just trying to avoid
importing to import, but I can't even get importing to oocalc first to

oowriter keeps wanting to paste the oocalc fields as a single object :(.

vi has always been a sufficient word processor for me, but unfortunately
it doesn't work for the end customers for this doc...
