Hello
I have a problem with fields in OOo. I use OpenOffice to convert MS Word
files to PDF format. The word files contain field functions(lastSaved,
lastPrinted, savedBy, PageNumbers...). These field functions are
automatically updated when I open the MS Word files with OOo. ...
Sorry, but what do you mean by "updated"? Are they given new values?
If so, it seems to be specific to the .doc import because it does not
happen with an ODF document. I can open an ODF document sent to me by
someone else, save it (no edits) as a different name, and all those
fields stay the same.
Maybe you're talking about the values passed on to the PDF file? All I
can see there is the "Author" field, which again was not changed. The
'Created' time has changed, but I dare say that's ambiguous at best in
that situation.
Also, which one of those fields should get a new value on import? None
that I can see. Simply reading the file should not change any of those
values.
Unless I've missed something obvious (always a good possibility), this
isn't a ux issue, it's just a bug.
Oh, waaait a minute, I see now. Those are not static fields, they're
actually formula fields using functions that return the document info,
which has now changed.
I still say it's a bug--the import operation should not change the
values returned by those functions and the result should be the same as
it was in the original document.
Are the correct values available from the .doc file? If so, then that's
what the functions should produce when they're updated.
