Justin L <jl...@mail.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |DUPLICATE --- Comment #3 from Justin L <jl...@mail.com> --- What happens on a Microsoft system? Does the field update on those systems? When I open "doc download.docx" in MS Word 2010, I see "My name is [nome]" placeholder - which is the same as LO 7.4/24.2. So the current behaviour is correct. Because the file is saved in DOCX format, it needs to behave in the way that MS Word expects it to behave. (Unfortunately, LO needs to be extended to support both visual compatibility and F9 update-ability.) If you want it to act "sanely", then you need to use ODF formats. This can probably be marked as a duplicate of bug 98284. As OP noted, instead of pressing F9 to update, the current way to "update" these fields in LO is to edit them and remove the fixed flag. The topic of bug 98284 is that a soft-lock needs to be introduced into LO - one that prevents auto-update but doesn't block an F9. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 98284 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
