------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Sep 24 19:25:19 -0700 2005 ------- Insert a DDE link, for example to MS Excel, through Insert | Fields | Other... I'm just using Excel as an example. The problem seems to happen with other DDE servers as well. If the link is set to DDE manual, the field value is blank. It stays blank regardless of whether you perform an update. I have confirmed that Writer sends a request to the DDE server, but the text returned by the server is never displayed. If you insert the same link, but set it to DDE automatic, the value is shown correcly. If you insert a link to OpenOffice Calc, both DDE manual and DDE automatic show the field value correctly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
