Example file from Word 2016 with a macro setting two variables
Attached document has set two document variables from VBA macro:
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:="FullName", Value:=fName
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:="Unused", Value:=VarUnused
Of these FullName is inserted into the document as a field, Unused is not.
When this document is saved as DOCX or RTF and opened in Writer, the Unused
variable is not imported, and so it would be lost upon save as well.
1, Open attached docx, rtf files in Word
2, Run the following macro:
Sub GetDocVars()
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Variables("FullName").Value & " " &
ActiveDocument.Variables("Unused").Value
End Sub
This will show there are two document variables defined.
3, Open the docx, rtf files in Writer, go to the Fields dialog (Ctrl-F2),
Variables tab.
4, Under User Field there is only the FullName variable listed with the correct
Jeff Smith value.
Expected: the Unused field is also imported with the "Hello World" value.
