I am afraid it still does not work as described.
When I click "Data to Text", new window appears. I check "Fields" and then 
"move" (using arrow button) field from left column to right one. When I click 
"OK", this window disappears, but field appears right in my document. Clicking 
"Data to Fields" still does not do anything visible.

What version of LO are you using? It might be that mine is buggy or your 
outdated and that's why we see different behaviors.
