Description VL 2018-07-03 07:28:28 UTC
Description:
I use C++ Visual Studio to fill sections - for example addresses in a document (clipboard).

Exchange of data by clipboard
There is no static connection to a file.
The German version  4.4.7.2 works well.
I tried the version 5.2.7.2 as x86 and x64, also 6.0.5.2 as x86 and x64, but they do not work. 

Actual Results:
Open writer
Menue > insert > section > new
Fill in an attribute
Close and safe it as *.odt
There is no static connection to a file
Call the writer and exchange data by the clipboard



Expected Results:
The address should be there in version 4.4.7.2
The address is not there in 5.4. or 6.



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Does this only happen with Visual Studio projects or other DDE connections? Can you include a concrete example file and steps so we can run it without thinking/doing research?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.
