With my little experience in the open-source I'm not sure to share your opinion on this. If we make a extension, users need to be aware of it and need to install it manually. Users can't discover it from the menu. Also in term of maintenance creating an extension would make it less tested and used than it could be if it was shipped directly inside LibreOffice. Also a source-code included in LibreOffice is trusted whereas a third-party things is less reliable for a end-user, especially for creating checks. > But let's talk about the basics first.

Using mail merge could be an expert mode for the feature. Right now, asking the blind version of Benjamin is IMHO a little bit hard to what we expect to create: a simple way to fill checks. > (The a11y "only" scenario would speak for an extension, IMHO) A11y means in most head "disabled" people as if was a sort of rare use-case. In practice, all those people could have difficulties to fill checks: - Visual-impaired - Blind - Elderly - disabled motor - dyslexic - People with Parkinson's disease - etc Disabled people in the US represent 20% of the US population older than 5, see <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disability_in_the_United_States">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disability_in_the_United_States</a> Also creating a simple tool could help all Benjamin all over the world to avoid to learn how to use mail merge. In conclusion, I really see how the LibreOffice world could be better with this feature. We could announce a new feature and open new perspective to users.
