            Bug ID: 142759
           Summary: Compatibility problems with MS Word file and EndNote
                    reference fields
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Hi,
I have a .docx file with some references added with EndNote reference manager
software. When I open the file with LibreOffice Writer and re-save it without
any modification, the reference fields are damaged and cannot be used in MS
Word and EndNote anymore. But in one free office software named WPS Office,
there is no such problem. This is problematic when I want to work with other
team's members. 

I was wondering if you would fix this academic issue.

Sincerely,
Mohammadreza

Actual Results:
I have a MS Word file with some fields created by EndNote reference manager
software from my professor. When I open the file in LibreOffice Writer, after
saving the file to a new file, the fields are no longer compatible with MS
Word.

Expected Results:
The fields are damaged and an MS Office user cannot use the fields anymore. The
Word says that: "the field codes have been removed".


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Like WPS Office, I expect that LibreOffice Writer becomes more compatible with
MS Office and saving the file without any changing, doesn't affect the
reference fields.
