Re: [libreoffice-users] gettextfields

The problem is probably because these are input fields in a form. Either 
that, or it is because the fields are not anchored directly into the 
text in a way that enumerating text will display them.

Can you email a copy of your document directly to me (off list). As long 
as it contains the text fields, that is sufficient (in other words, you 
can remove all the text that you like).
