Hi
I can not make Date to Fields button working.
Steps that I try:
1. Open new Writer document
2. Press F4 (or View ? Data Sources)
3. Select bibliography table "biblio"
4. Press left-most cell of any row to select entire row (without this step
Data to Fields button is not clickable).
5. 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.
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. Press left-most cell of any row to select entire row (without this step Data
to Text nor
Data to Fields button is not clickable).
5. 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.
