Thank you very much!   It is great !

I have only two remarks:
1/ With this method I will lose the direct connection with the Evolution data 
base. The original concept has the advantage that any change has been made in 
the evolution address book directly appears in OOo address table.

I hope the OOo data base developers will pay a little attention to this 
problem.

2/ Two characters (small characters) was coverted not properly (I did not 
check all the affected characters):

      /  /               /  /
      __  
    /      \           |       |
   |        |          |       |
    \ __ /            \__ /
