This issue is far from being closed, and seems to affect all fields, not only
the date. Here's one example:
I use the following header line in all my documents:
Last edited by: FullName; Last printed: 13.2.2006 12:11:00 PM
The data after colons are fields: "docInformation/Modified/Author" and
"docInformation/Last printed/Date" with a modified format to incorporate both
date and time. When I save the file in MS Word format, and the reopen, the line
looks like this:
Last edited by: H十八N十八十八十三L; Last printed: 13/2/2006 12:11:00 A2/P2
(with question marks being empty square boxes, denoting unrecognizable
character). When I get into the properties of the first field, I see the
language is set to Japanese, instead of the default locale (US). And when I open
this file in MS Word 2000, I get an error saying that there's "an unsupported
character in the format string" - but there are actually two errors here. When
shown, the first field code looks like this:
{ SAVEDATE \@ "GENERAL" }
First, openoffice.org's "Modified/Author" field (denoting the person) has been
translated to Word's "SAVEDATE" field (denoting the time), instead of
"LASTSAVEDBY". Second, "GENERAL" format string is unrecognized in MS Word,
because the parser only allows "dd.MM.yyyy" type of strings. The second field
("Last printed") looks OK, except for the strange "A2/P2".
The quilty one is the MS Word Export module of OOo, still buggy in 2.0.1. The
import module works as it should.
