--- Comment #4 from Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) <kelem...@ubuntu.com> --- (In reply to Justin L from comment #3) > What happens on a Microsoft system? Does the field update on those systems? > It depends! First, the document somehow(it was last saved by LO, but saving the doc from Word 2010/16 removes it) has the w:updateFields attribute set to true in settings.xml of which the standard says: 17.15.1.90 updateFields (Automatically Recalculate Fields on Open) This element specifies whether the fields contained in this document should automatically have their field result recalculated from the field codes when this document is opened by an application which supports field calculations. [Note: Some fields are always recalculated (e.g. the page numbering), therefore this element only affects fields which are typically not automatically recalculated on opening the document. Also note that this setting must not supersede any document protection (§17.15.1.29) or write protection (§17.15.1.93) settings. end note] If this element is omitted, then fields should not automatically be recalculated on opening this document. To add to the fun, Word 2010 and newer have this setting in the Options - Advanced - General called "Update automatic links on open". If this is disabled, then the field is not updated, if it's enabled, then you get a question at opening the file whether you want to update the fields. Perhaps a new, document level property can help here? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
