Palm to address on envelope -- Simple path wanted!

[Tommy Trussell]

For years I've kept my address book online in various forms (first in
a HyperCard stack!) but for more than five years I've kept everything
on my Palm computer and its attendant software. On the Mac I was able
to very easily copy a single address from the Palm desktop software
and paste it directly into a word processor, OR export the whole kit &
kaboodle into a tab-delimited file for use in a mailing list.
Unfortunately unless I'm missing something it's not so easy in Ubuntu
PPC.

I've installed and tried J-Pilot, Kpilot, Kontact, Evolution crashed
(normally I use Thunderbird for email) and I haven't tried the GNOME
Palm utilities because I usually use xfce.

I haven't found anything that lets me copy JUST the address and paste
directly into something that will go on an envelope without lots of
"massaging." Apparently there's some old abandoned software called
XNotesPlus that I haven't tried yet, but I keep thinking there must be
something I'm missing with the packages I have.

For those who don't know, the PPC version of OpenOffice doesn't let
you work with data files. So I have a PC on my network running Ubuntu,
and through the power of ssh -X user at othermachine I can bring up the
Intel version of OpenOffice, which I used this way:

1) Export from KPilot to .csv (comma delimited file)
2) Open .csv file in ppc OpenOffice spreadsheet
3) Save to native OpenOffice spreadsheet format
4) Copy spreadsheet file and envelope template file to intel PC
5) Open OpenOffice on 686 machine via network 
6) Define spreadsheet file as data source
7) Open envelope template and insert data fields for address
8) Print -- Open Office prompts me to select the address record(s) to insert

Whew. This WORKS, but what an ordeal!

Am I missing a way to do this:

1) Open Palm data
2) Select address
3) Copy JUST the postal address, nothing else
4) Paste into word processor
