I put fields with one row selected and then clicked Data to Fields with the same row selected. I think I understand now. This button gives a way to quickly preview document with another set of data.

Dan, Thanks for your reply. On 04/10/2012 at 01:50, Dan Lewis elderdanle...@gmail.com wrote: You need to use both Data to Text and Data to Fields buttons for the later to work. 1. Open new Writer document 2. Press F4 (or View ? Data Sources) 3. Select bibliography table biblio 4.

Click the Data to Text button to select what will be copied from the selected row in the Data Sources window to the text documents. 6. A dialog opens giving three choices: paste the data in table format, as fields, or as text. The first and third choices are result in text being pasted. 7. The Data to Fields button works only if you have selected Fields in the dialog. To change the data showing in the fields in the text document, select another row. Then click this button. In other words, you have to use Data to Text button to create the fields before you can put any other data in these fields using the Data to Text button. I am afraid it still does not work as described. When I click Data to Text, new window appears. I check Fields and then move (using arrow button) field from left column to right one. When I click OK, this window disappears, but field appears right in my document. Clicking Data to Fields still does not do anything visible. What version of LO are you using? It might be that mine is buggy or your outdated and that's why we see different behaviors. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

My LO versions in which it works: 3.4.6, 3.5.6, AND 3.6.2.2. All of them are Debian 64 bit downloaded and installed from the LO website.

Press Data to Fields button (fourth from right), see screenshot: http://minio.komunikatory.pl/obrazy/rozne/data-to-fields.jpg Nothing happens, or at least nothing that I can see. Can someone explain this? What this button should actually do and how do I use it? What am I doing wrong? I am using LibreOffice 3.6.1 on Debian testing (amd64), version downloaded from experimental repository (not LO website). Thanks in advance.
