Variables that are contained in Word-documents get lost when imported into
Writer.
Create a new empty Word-document. Add and run the following VBA-macro to add a
few variables:
Public Sub AddVariables()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 10
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add "TestName_" & Format$(i), "TestValue_" &
Format$(i)
Next i
End Sub
Now save the document using the standard-Word-format (.doc) - no matter it
Word2000 or a newer version.
Re-open this file with Writer: you won't find a trace of the variables that are
contained in the original format - although it's possible to create and store
user defined fields in Writer 2.0.
Background: our software-solution for MS Office stores meta-data in documents
and templates. This information is processed during the life-cycle of the
document. It we want to offer the possibility to use Writer instead of Word it
would be neccessary to get access on the metadata of the existing Word-
documents - otherwise our customers won't accept the new offer to replace MS
Word.
