Hi
Just a comment, it's possible to use custom document properties for
conditions but the example given in
the guide uses 'Set variables' which does not seem to work as you
discovered. In fact I can't seem to
make it work for any document "variable". Document properties works well
though so the example
would work if you switched the document variable to a custom property
(File -> Properties the tab
Custom Properties, enter a name, a type and a value you for your variable).
You might know this but in case you don't I thought I'd to mention it.
Regards,
Niklas Johansson

Hi Jean
I've spent quite a while on this, trying everything I could think of
to make it work. It doesn't.
The text is a carry through from the OOo documentation. Checking their
website shows the text is in their user guide, 'though it's dated
December 2010.
I loaded and tried their latest release, AOO3.4, and it doesn't work
in there either.
I've come to the conclusion that if it ever did work, it no longer does.
I'm changing Chapter 14 to reflect this, and to include the document
property items that are available, but which weren't included in the
chapter.
As soon as I'm done, I'll get to the three chapters you've dealt with
and sort them out.
Regards
JohnS

Problem description:
The Writer Guide (v3.3) page 377 appears to incorrectly indicate that
custom document information provided in the document properties can be
used as a variable to trigger conditional events.
The online help section "conditions;in fields and sections" gives no
indication that this is possible and writer does not appear to
recognize the document information fields regardless of formatting.
For additional information please see this unresolved Ask LibreOffice
question:
http://ask.libreoffice.org/question/970/how-can-i-access-a-custom-document-property-in-a
Current behavior: The Writer Guide describes behavior that is not
available in writer.
Expected behavior: Ideally this feature would actually be available in
writer but if it is not the Writer Guide should be corrected.
