Hi,

we have to migrate a lot of MS Word documents (.doc) to OOo and we have a 
problem with the empty MS Word text fields. The Writer imports these text 
fields, but the value is not empty:
- MS Word displays empty text fields as "°°°°°" and prints these values as 
space.
- The Writer displays imported empty text fields with "@@@@@" and prints also the value 
as "@@@@@".

We've testet with win32 version 3.2.1 and a current development snapshot. The first idea was to replace the 
string "@@@@@" with "     " doesn't work, because the search and replace function doesn't 
find the "@@@@@" value. So, our plan is now to change the import filter and build a own OOo. Can 
anyone help to find the relevant place in the source of the import filter?

Many thanks for your help.

Just saw this and wanted to throw out an idea....

You are able to enumerate through your text fields and change the values in those fields. That would be easier than modifying OOo. That said, this sounds like it may be a bug so you should probably file a bug report as well.
