+
+<p>You can use your Evolution address books in LibreOffice as a data source. The following steps refer to LibreOffice version 3.3.3.</p>
+
+<steps>
+<item><p>Click <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Exchange Database...</gui></guiseq> in the menu bar. This will bring up the <gui>Exchange databases</gui> dialog box.</p></item>
+<item><p>In the right pane under <gui>Available Databases</gui>, <gui>EvolutionLocal</gui> is available as a source. Click on the small triangle to get the list of your Evolution address books.</p></item>
+<item><p>Choose an addressbook and click <gui style="button">Define</gui>.</p></item>
+<item><p>In case it is not listed already, click <gui style="button">Browse...</gui>. A file chooser dialog opens.</p></item>
+<item><p>As Evolution stores its data in a hidden directory, press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>L</key></keyseq> to get the location bar displayed.</p></item>
+<item><p>Go to <code>/home/username/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/addressbook.db</code> and click <gui style="button">Open</gui>.</p></item>
+</steps>
+
+<p>This makes the Evolution address book the default data source for LibreOffice. You can now select a field to insert into an LibreOffice document via <guiseq><gui>Insert</gui><gui>Fields</gui><gui>Other</gui></guiseq>.</p>
