Can reproduce it in OOo2.4.1 Writer, Impress and Drawing Let's us choose two OOo builds for testing, like OOo3.1 and DEV300m51 Scenario: In OOo3.1, Tools - Options - Openoffice.org - User data, set First name/Last name/Initials as F3.1/L3.1/I3.1 In DEV300m51, Tools - Options - OOo-dev - User data, set First name/Last name/Initials as F300m51/L300m51/I300m51 How to reproduce it 1 Create an Writer doc with OOo3.1 and save it as FieldsAuthor.odt 2 Open the file created at step 1 with DEV300m51 3 In DEV300m51, Insert - Fields - Other, Fields dialog opens, switch to Document tab, Type:Author, Select: Name, OK Result Insert the Author of DEV300m51, but not user data in OOo3.1 Expectation should insert the Author of OOo3.1 According to help doc Author: Inserts the name of the user who first saved the document. To view the name of the author, choose File - Properties, click the General tab, and then look at the Created line. The name of the author is appended to the Created line only if the Apply user data check box is selected. Note In Drawing and Impress, Insert - Fields - Author, insert user data from DEV300m51, it is the same as Writer (Insert - Fields - Other, Fields dialog opens, switch to Document tab, Type:Author, Select: Name) Regards Li Meiying
reassigned for further investigations
MRU->ES: pls have a look, it refers to fields in Writer.
@OS: as described.
->ufi: The error is in the help page. The name of the creator is displayed with the field from DocInformation/Created/Author. Document/Author uses the name from tools/options/general/user data.This is not necessarily related to the Creator of the document. Draw+Impress don't have a creator field.
changed file shared/01/04090001.xhp in CWS hcshared23
tool demands the target to be changed to 3.2
Verified in cws Writer, press Ctrl+F2, "Author" no longer has bad description
