Hello,
Based on the
rtf merge and the
dynamic creation of .odt files I wrote an extension for merging open office documents in vtiger.
Open Office documents are ziped xml files, so you only have to unzip it, merge the data an zip it again. For now, the merge is only working in the contact module. Besides the odt merge I have also included the rtf merge mentioned above.
It works fine on my linux system, which is build on 6765 svn. The php version is 5.1.4, apache is 2.0.55 and mysql 5.0.21.
Anyway, as I tested it on the pre-beta version on my windows xp system, I got only a hacking attempt message.
The fields in the template have the following form: CONTACT_FIRSTNAME
Attached is the Merge.php (copy to modules/Contacts), the class for zipping files (test/wordtemplatedownload) and two samplemerge files, for Open Office and rtf merge.

of rtf's with images.

i doubt that this will work on 4.2.3 because of the different database setups of both versions. this merge includes both, the rtf merge- customized for version 5.0 - and the open office merge. its not that hard to change the files, so that they can be used for version 4.2.3, but i'll look next for the leads and helpdesk modules.
