Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 13682
"insert field" in replacement text fails
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:32:07 UTC
When the cursor is in the replacement text of a Search/Replace menu it should accept anything that can be put into regular document text. However, if you Insert->Field-User Variable (or other field) at that point, the operation silently does nothing instead of inserting the field in the replacement text. There should be a workaround: place the replacement text (including the field) in scratch space in the document and cut/paste the text to the replace menu. Unfortunately, while that should work, in fact a different bug (reported separately) causes the resulting replacement text to be the expansion of the field rather than the field itself.
