I cannot reproduce it.
What do you mean with "Window/Short Name/Toolbar" (which you described as
"Toolbar / Short name / Windo Ctrl-F3" in the attached document)???
Comment 5 cno 2008-03-18 14:21:42 UTC
There are three ways (maybe more) to insert an autotext.
1) Window = Ctrl-F3(Edit|AutoText), select Autotext and choose Insert
2) Short Name = type short name and then F3
3) Toolbar = click black triangle on the AutoText icon on the tool bar Insert
and select the category and AutoText name

In order to reproduce, you have to insert the autotext in another document, so
not the one attached, that already holds a copy of the field.
Sorry that I missed that in my first explanation.

...and that was "the" missing information.

The Input Field does not work when the AutoText is inserted in a new document.
Comment 7 cno 2008-03-18 15:17:45 UTC
Just checked: it was already broken in 1.1.5
I was in the understandig that I had poposed the solution to a customer year or
so ago. Obviously that they did not start using it ;-)

There's some work going on on user input fields, to make it work with tabbing as
in Word. When that implementation is finished and it makes the use of fields
more popular, changing the target of this issue might be logic.
