Inserting ODB fields on Writer and showing value

[JZA <ac...@gmail.com>]

I am trying to use the Label Writer Document and insert the datasource from
a registered ODB, however I am only shown either with the Field Name and/or
Database.DBfield.NextRecord but not the actual value of it.

How can I make it so it shows the actual value?

Also using the Avery Letter Size -> 8160 Ink Jet Address (Format Sheet) but
I cant seem to get all the records from the ODB.

I am trying to make custom cards on letter sheets.

Remove the tick from Tools | Options... | OpenOffice Writer | View | 
Display | Field codes.

Have you clicked the Data to Fields button in the Table Data toolbar?

I trust this helps.
