You should check on the openoffice mailing list for the answer, but my
guess after having used openoffice for a while is that it does not have
that feature. Keep in mind that the whole point of openoffice is not to
replace every feature MS produced but rather to provide a solid
collection of features which a lot of people really use a lot. And as
what those features to be used and included are judged upon by vote;
remember to register your copy of openoffice and vote for the feature
you want.


Regarding Kaddress;I really recommend you switch your desktop to Gnome
and try using Ximian Evolution; it works just as you wish Kaddress
would.
Be well...
