Created attachment 54173 [details] Examle of converted MS Word document with 2 fields, mergefield and IF field (can`t be deleted). Problem description: After converting MS Word document to odt, conditional fields can`t be deleted or modified. After saving as plain xml, I found this node causes the problem: <field:fieldmark-start text:name="__Fieldmark__174_316795990" field:type=""/><field:fieldmark-end/> Steps to reproduce: 1. Create MS Word document with conditional field "IF" 2. Open in LibreOffice Writer 3. try to edit field Platform (if different from the browser): Windows
Hello Matěj, *, I can confirm it with Debian Testing AMD64 and the Germanophone version of LO 3.5.0 RC1 ... :( If I choose to insert text in the marked field, I get the error message (roughly translated) "The cursor or the selection is in an write protected area. A change cannot be accepted." ... :( HTH Thomas.
I don't what to do with the attached document, it is surely not an ODT document. Could you (Matěj or thackert) upload a MS Word with the described fields in your comment? (Not everyone has MSO to create this file for himself.) This way we can test the conversion and the possible problems.

Thanks Matěj. OK, I can reproduce this now under LO 3.4 and 3.5. However, notice that the problem is not within the conversion from .doc to odt., the field (and its whole paragraph) is already not editable in the .doc, if opened with LO 3.4/3.5. I checked the .doc and your .odt also with OOo 3.2.1, in both cases the field text is editable - though the field is not recognized as a field but as simple text. Setting Status to NEW Adding Keyword regression (although I'm not so sure about it).

If in Word select "Show field codes" then it shows: { IF 1 = 1 "test1" "test2" \* MERGEFORMAT }
I can confirm this Bug, tested with Libreoffice 4.2.1
