Asked by Peter Harris

When I try to register the Thunderbird address book in Libre Office Write the option to use Thunderbird doesn't exist.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04, Libre Office 3.3.2 and Thunderbird 3.1.11.
i am using 'File, Templates, Address Book Source'. The only option offered is Bibliography. Any help would be much appreciated.

See

http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Address_Data_Source

Note that it does say

"Not all types are available on all systems."

Using TBird addressbook has never been implemented in the Canonical version of Libre/Open Office.
You need to UNINSTALL the version that ships with Ubuntu and install the version downloaded directly from the LO website.
Here's how to do it:
