Bug ID: 142771
Summary: LibreOffice change MS Word fields
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: kerna...@gmail.com
Description:
Hi,
I found that the LibreOffice change the fields codes of EndNote fields in MS
Word file. After opening the file in LibreOffice and re-saving, the Fields
cannot be recognized by MS Word any more.
Actual Results:
I have a MS Word file (.docx) with some references created by EndNote reference
manager software. As you know, the references are coded as fields. This is the
first line of an example field code in Word:
{ ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Crossley KM</Author><Year>2016...
But after opening the file in LibreOffice and re-saving it, the fields changed
to:
{ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Crossley KM</Author><Year>2016...
A simple space was removed by LibreOffice and this causes the EndNote in MS
Word doesn't recognize the field as a reference.
Expected Results:
The EndNote extension in MS Word doesn't recognize the new fields and cannot
update, modify and continue the citation.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
A simple space after the first character { can fix the issue. I tried it and it
worked.
{ADDIN EN.CITE
{ ADDIN EN.CITE
Please fix this issue. This incompatibly does not allow me to work with my
academic team.
