Bug ID: 115013
Summary: Merge fields aren't substituted after saving/reopening
DOC(X) with added mail merge fields, and running mail
merge
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.0.0.1 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: implementationError
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

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), 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.
