Description: I have a .doc file (old Word format). The file has a custom property "TheTestProperty" of type "Number" in its properties. Then, in the document, I have two fields: 1. Just the value of the document property "TheTestProperty" 2. A formula "the value of the document property "TheTestProperty" + 1" When I open this .doc document with Writer and press Ctrl+F9 to show the definitions of the fields, I can see the definition of the first field. But I can't see the definition of the second field. It's still displayed as the value. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attached .doc file in Writer 2. Press Ctrl+F9 Actual Results: The definition of the field with the formula can't be seen or edited Expected Results: Definitions of both fields can be seen and edited. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Display the definition of the field with the formula.

The definition of the first field in Word: { DOCPROPERTY "TheTestProperty" } The definition of the second field in Word: { = { DOCPROPERTY "TheTestProperty" } + 1 }
I confirm the described behaviour, but I could also see, that you can't edit the second filed with MS Word 2016. So I would say there's a problem with that field in the original document and it's not a LO bug => RESOLVED NOTABUG Feel free to change it back to UNCONFIRMED with a short reasoning, if you disagree.
I can edit the second field with Word 2000 and with Word 2016 just fine.
I press Alt+F9, then I see the definition of the field as text. I go to this text with the cursor and edit it. In LO, I even don't see the definition of the field.
Created attachment 165837 [details] .docx saved in MSO from .doc I reproduce this for .DOC. Property cannot be edited properly (to change custom DocProperty), Property + 1 cannot be edited at all. Fileopen .DOCX has different behavior: can be edited (not properly), but is imported wrong (doubled). Normally we split different filters, but I don't do it immediately, rather wait to see if something would be fixed here. Rule of thumb is search for existing bugs first, but I couldn't find one. Note that TheTestProperty value can be changed in LO (File-Properties).
