Add capability to use DDE-fields as variables
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:34:29 UTC
It would be nice, if it would be possible tu use DDE-fields in a simular way as variables. What I mean: If you could use them in "conditional texts" it would be possible to use a sort of autottexts in mail merge documents, f.e.: IF MailMergeField == [condition] THEN DDEfield So you could store and maintain autotexts in sections of a writer-document or in cells of a calc-document and apply in mail merge documents depending on conditions. Hope I could explain what I mean.
Reassigned to requirements.
