Comment 2 olivier_chenot 2010-09-15 11:12:04 UTC 
sample code is as follows :

oText = oDocument.getText
oCursor = oText.createTextCursorByRange(oText.getStart)
' document elements loop
do
   ' current word selection 
   oResult = oCursor.gotoEndOfWord(True)
	   
   ' word value 
   MsgBox "Word value [" + n + "] : " + oCursor.String

   ' next step
   n = n + 1
   Proceed = oCursor.gotoNextWord (false)
	   
Loop While Proceed					

If you have a look in attached document, see macro in Macro:module1:main macro,
 file containing mailing fields is GotoEndofWord Sample.odt

field at start of paragraph is merged with following word
Comment 9 mroe 2014-03-26 10:36:40 UTC 
Interesting in API programming I have looked for the meaning of this bug.
I created a new example doc by using user fields so it is to see that the described behaviour is not limited to mail merge fields.

There is a simple macro inside the doc like the original macro, which iterates over the words of the text in the document and display it between ">|" and "|<".

The results for the included fields are:
If a field is located at the beginning of a paragraph it will be "merged" with the following word. Otherwise fields are not treated as words.

In view of this result the original description was directed wrong because there was a lonely field in one paragraph. So the reporter meant it was right treated as word.

That's why I change the topic.
