Created attachment 139100 [details] Sample DOCX (saved at step 4) 1. Save an empty document as DOC or DOCX. 2. Start mail merge, add an address list (eg. attachment 134068 [details]), and don't set an address block or salutation. 3. In Fields (Ctrl-F2) add a field from the data source to the document. 4. Save the document. 5. Note how you can cycle through the merged entries, and the field gets substituted. 6. Reopen the document. 7. Repeat steps 2-3 (the data source doesn't get saved in DOC(X), so it has to be added again). 8. Note how the field content isn't substituted anymore when cycling through merged entries: it's not matched to the same data source field as before. Attaching a sample DOCX after step 4. Observed using LO 6.0.0.1 / Windows 7. The saving of DOC(X) mail merge fields was added for bug 67207 in 6.0.
Created attachment 139105 [details] Sample DOC (saved at step 4)
Created attachment 139106 [details] Sample DOCX (saved in Word) Word also inserts the data source, but let's disregard that for now, it's also possible to only insert a standalone MERGEFIELD.
