--- Comment #3 from [email protected] ---
The problem is apparently that I was starting from a .doc file, not .odt
I would suggest that a warning message be produced if someone tries to use
fields with .doc format files and to simply disallow it, so that people don't
waste their time like I did.  

I wasted over 10 hours on this.  Having to do that did not make me think so
highly of the product.  Being forced to use .odt format in order to use fields
does not endear me to the product, but knowing that's what is required is
better than wasting all that time.  

Most people would have given up and dumped the product had they been required
to go through what I went through.
