Writer: How to verify Writer's Custom Properties is displaying properly?

[chrisjj]

On my Word-created DOCX files, Custom Properties display shows some fields seen in Word e.g. Company but not others e.g. Author.

For debugging this, can you recommend a Windows desktop program known to show the full set?

known to show the full set?

Use LibreOffice.
This requires strict adherence to the procedures and options offered by LibreOffice (styles, user-defined fields in LibreOffice, etc.).
This will only produce good results if you create the documents in LibreOffice Writer and save them in ODT format.

What is a “full set”?

seen in Word.

I don’t have Word.
Details?

[chrisjj]

For example Author. Word shows it. Writer doesn’t.

For example Author.

See tab “General” in File Properties, properties “Created” and “Modified”.

Writer doesn’t.

Writer has the options fields.
You can access them via the menu Tools > Options > LibreOffice > User Data.
The “last name” is used for Author.

The Author field may be handled differently in Word and Writer, which could cause compatibility issues.
