------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue May 23 11:06:39 -0700 2006 ------- A similar issue is discussed in <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=55807">55807</a> regarding the import of MSWord document variables. As of v 2.0.2, these are being imported as user-defined metadata of value-type "string", but omitted on export back to MSWord file formats. MSWord document variables can only be set through macros, but custom doc properties are accessible through the UI in both MSWord and Writer, so I think they should get at least as much support. Having the data actually import properly would be the first step, then preserving the field structure on import (and export!) would be feasible. Ideally, instead of always being "string", the value-type used for the imported data should be "docvar" for the variables and "string", "number", "date", or "boolean" for the custom document properties, so that the exporter or other document converter could put the pieces back into place for greater MSWord compatibility. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
