            Bug ID: 131371
           Summary: FILEOPEN DOCX Mail merge data source information not
                    used (<w:connectString)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: libreoffice at nisz.hu

Description:
When creating a mail merge base document and defining data source fields in
Word, it also saves information about the file in word/settings.xml.
This can be used to set up data source for example on a different computer with
access to the same base document and data source, Word does this.
Writer cannot, and we also lose the information on saving the file as docx
(that is worth another bug).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached docx file in Word and Writer

Actual Results:
Word tries to set up the data source connection, and if successful, it shows
the merged data in the form letter.

Expected Results:
Writer should try to set up the data source based on the available information.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
