------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 12 01:09:57 -0700 2005 ------- First you should generate an empty Word-document (no matter if Word 2000, 2002 or 2003). You have to insert a MERGEFIELD, the field code should be something like MERGEFIELD "ZMSD/Vorname" /ID:"020DATEV.FieldExchange.ZMSDMandant#Vorname#des#Ma ndanten" /ATTR:N Hint: in MS Word you can toggle the visibility of field-codes with ALT+F9 Now that you inserted the field into the document you should save it in Word standard-document format (.doc). After you re-open the file in Writer the additional information of the field- code (ID and following information) is gone! Even if you save this document as ODT and inspect the resulting XMLs you won't find a trace of the additional information. Background: our software-solution for MS Office makes excessive use of these mailmerge-fields. If we don't find a way to transport the meta-data of the fields into the writer-documents we will find a remarkably lesser acceptance for the openoffice-based solution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
