Hi Francis,

Thanks for your additional comment.

Pls try to reply in the IssueTracker on the web, not cia the mail. Thus we keep
the comments a bit clean :)

Now I understand it's 'simply' the issue that in .doc format LibreOffice mail
merge fields are not retained. That's all. Has allways been that way. And I
really doubt if that can be changed (in any case I always advise people not to
save their mail merge master files in .doc :) )

Changing summary and such...
Also: should be checked on duplicate issues (I skip that due to time
contraints.)
