Reassigned to ES The "Author" you see under "Insert - Fields - Author" corresponds to "Insert - Fields - Other - [DocumentInfo] - Created - Author" who is the "creator" of the document. As a document is only created aftert having beeing saved This author only appears after having saved the file (just like a "Last Printed" field will be empty until you print the doc) To have the name of the *current user*, do "Insert - Fields - Other - [Document] - Author". closed This is a bug, and I'm reopening the issue as such. First, if what you said was accurate, than insert - fields - other - documentinfo - created time and date shouldn't show anything either until the document is saved. But it does. The only thing that doesn't show is insert - fields - other - documentinfo - created Author. This is a bug. Futhermore, I agree that "Insert - Fields - Other - [Document] - Author". works like the user expects and as it is labeled in the menu item. Instead of having two slightly different functions with similar names, perhaps the last one should be used and the first discarded, since it isn't even working like the time or date function does in the documentinfo, created section. ES->BH: For "Insert - Fields - Other - [DocumentInfo] - Created - Author": 1)->Please decide if we want to show *author*, date and time *before* the document is saved or hide them all. 2)->Please give explanations about the difference between: a)"Insert - Fields - Other - [Document] - Author": b)"Insert - Fields - Other - [Document] - Sender - Name" c)"Insert - Fields - Other - [DocumentInfo] - Author" Reassigned to BH Attaching screen shots in sxw document below.

Considered for Office later. To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements". |
