First you should generate an empty Word-document (no matter if Word 2000, 2002 
or 2003). You have to insert a MERGEFIELD, the field code should be something 
like 
MERGEFIELD "ZMSD/Vorname" /ID:"020DATEV.FieldExchange.ZMSDMandant#Vorname#des#Ma
ndanten" /ATTR:N 

Hint: in MS Word you can toggle the visibility of field-codes with ALT+F9

Now that you inserted the field into the document you should save it in Word 
standard-document format (.doc).

After you re-open the file in Writer the additional information of the field-
code (ID and following information) is gone!
Even if you save this document as ODT and inspect the resulting XMLs you won't 
find a trace of the additional information.

Background: our software-solution for MS Office makes excessive use of these 
mailmerge-fields. If we don't find a way to transport the meta-data of the 
fields into the writer-documents we will find a remarkably lesser acceptance 
for the openoffice-based solution.
