--- Comment #3 from Justin L <[email protected]> ---
PrintDate: I don't think it is important to print an all zero date (instead of
nothing) if the document has been printed.

SaveDate: There is no format specified, so I expect this is up to the
implementation to define it however they want. See bug 142464 for formatted
example.

You simply state that 'MERGEFORMAT' is a formatting switch, but don't go into
any detail about it. Google says it means "Retains Formatting: When you update
a field, Word applies the existing formatting of the previous result to the new
result." But that is rather ambiguous. See bug 132475 and its patches.

The DOCX you provided doesn't give any formatting instructions on how the text
ought to look - no paragraph formatting, no character formatting, no date
formatting. The only thing provided is the text that was last displayed. So it
is completely implementation dependent on how it will look.

There is nothing in this bug report that is actionable.
