I have a file written in open office writer. Recently, I have a need
to cooperate someone else using Microsoft word. So I resave my
document to MS Word format in OpenOffice Writer. There are many
fields in my document such fig.4.2. In MSWord, this code, for
example { SEQ fig \*Arabic} will lose chapter number and display as fig.2.
So I need a way to keep the auto-numbering information (just the
plain text needed) and remove the fields functionality. I know a way
which is to save document into rtf first, then open it in wordpad.
Yes, it works, but some pictures of my original document will disappear.
I just want to ask if there is another way to change the field to
plain text and keep the content of fields.
As so often, Paste Special is your friend.
o Save your document. Keep the original so that you can continue to
work with the fields.
o Save a copy of your document under a different name.
o In the new document, cut or copy each field and then use Edit |
Paste Special... (or right-click | Paste Special... or Ctrl+Shift+V)
to paste the material back in the same place.
o In the Paste Special dialogue, select "Unformatted text".

In the case of this document, you can find the captions containing
the fields quickly:
o Go to Edit | Find & Replace... (or Ctrl+F).
o Click More Options.
o Tick "Search for Styles".
o Under "Search for", select Drawing.
o Click Find. For each caption containing a field, replace with
unformatted text as above.
Sadly, I don't see any way to make these changes globally: only going
through the fields one by one.
I trust this helps.
