------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Feb 14 08:16:14 -0800 2005 ------- Hello everyone, I vote for this issue because I am part of a team at DaimlerChrysler Research & Technology that currently implements a document generator for technical documentation which has OpenOffice as the main target format. To fill the document templates with the meta information from the database we currently have to abuse the "user field" under Fields->Variables->User Field. I suggest changing this functionality because: - The OASIS Format does not place this limitation, so a valid File is not interpreted properly by OOo - I guess People either don't use the feature at all or they need a lot of user-defined fields - MS Word compatibility requires it (e.g. open a Word doc with 5 user defined properties) - Externally generated OOo files with more than 4 user-defined meta information fields behave unlogical: A field referencing a user-defined meta tag >4 is not filled with the correct value or at least let empty, but is filled with the value of the first user-defined document property.
