(In reply to comment #4)

 Sorry for the reply via email; I don't file bug reports very often.

No problem!

 Thanks for clarifying that the behaviour is known and taking the time to
 read the report!
 
 To summarize: it's a known issue with .doc compatibility, it won't likely be
 fixed, and so use .odt instead.  Please correct me if I've missed the gist
 of it.

That's it, indeed.

Best,
Cor

Hi Francis,

Thanks for your additional comment.

Pls try to reply in the IssueTracker on the web, not cia the mail. Thus we keep
the comments a bit clean :)


(In reply to comment #2)

 However, I opened up a more complex .doc file (18 pages) which was in
 the same directory as the .odt mentioned above, and did exactly the same
 thing with exactly the same complex spreadsheet as in my test above.  I
 added one database field to this doc.  I saved it  reopened it -- but
 the database field was gone and only its character representation
 remained.


Now I understand it's 'simply' the issue that in .doc format LibreOffice mail
merge fields are not retained. That's all. Has allways been that way. And I
really doubt if that can be changed (in any case I always advise people not to
save their mail merge master files in .doc :) )

Changing summary and such...
Also: should be checked on duplicate issues (I skip that due to time
contraints.)
