<pre>1. Open the Modern business letter serif template.
2. Search in the LibreOffice help for fields
3. Find
<a href="https://help.libreoffice.org/5.4/en-US/text/swriter/guide/fields.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN">https://help.libreoffice.org/5.4/en-US/text/swriter/guide/fields.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN</a>
The help claims
Placeholder, hidden text, insert reference, variable, database, and
user-defined fields display a help tip when you rest the mouse pointer over the
field in a document. To enable this feature, ensure that the Extended Tips
option (What's This?) is selected in the Help menu.
This doesn't seem correct. If you try this with the placeholder fields on this
template, nothing happens, regardless of whether you rest the mouse pointer
over a field or click, regardless of whether View > Field Names is on or not.
Suggested fix:
Delete this entire paragraph, or document the circumstances in which it works.
Hmm, from <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - "Whats This?" should be disabled if help isnt installed"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=98300">bug 98300</a> maybe it and other mentions of help tips/What's this should
be prefixed with the {{boilerplate}} "If you have LibreOffice built-in help
installed on your computer..."</pre>
