Hi,

I have Libreoffice Version 4.0.4.2 (Build ID: 9e9821abd0ffdbc09cd8c52eaa574fa09eb08f2)

After successfully creating my Bibliography and putting in all my entries, I save my document as a .doc file. If I close this file and reopen it a few seconds later, my whole Bibliography disappears. This only happens when saving in .doc or .docx format. Is there a fix for this bug?????

Kind regards,

Hi Pagiel,

thanks for reporting. Saving as doc or docx has never been compatible with the field type that Writer uses for mail merge/databases.

See the other issue.
Best,
Cor
