------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jun 12 21:38:46 -0700 2006 ------- As described in 30913 (http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=30913), OpenOffice fields do not survive export to .doc (MSWord) format. They are converted to plain text instead. Recent tests (see attached) have shown that variables in MS Word documents imported into OpenOffice work as intended (they become variables, not plain text). I asked my colleague how he created the attached document, and he said "All I did was re-create all the DocProperties from scratch and re-insert them where applicable." Interestingly, if you open the attached document in OpenOffice, you see that the variables (Customer name, etc) work ok. But if you save as... .doc (with a different filename) and re-open in OpenOffice, the variables have been replaced with text. We are half-way there, could you please make the round-trip work? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
