Title:
  Editing 2007 DOC file with form fields changed checkbox into garbage
  text upon saving of file, inserts {FormFieldText}

Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  Basically, I can open a DOC file, that is created in Word2007. This
  document is saved in Form mode for editing of only the form fields,
  mostly text fields and checkboxes. I can open and view accurately, I
  can also edit seemingly with ease. But when I save the Document, with
  the field data entered, and then re-open the saved file, half way down
  the page, (there are lots of form text fields), instead of having a
  form field, they were changed to "FORMCHECKBOX"  and "FORMTEXT". The
  Form formatting and field is now gone.

  I am running Ubuntu 8.10, Open Office 2.4.1. I frequently and
  regularly update the system for patches. I have tried editing the same
  document, as well as like documents, with the same results. The option
  to save as an OpenOffice file will not work due to the requestors of
  this information being Windows only users.
