SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       Odfuserfield is a program that will list or change the user variable
15       declarations in an OpenDocument file. There are two kinds of variables
16       in OpenDocument. Simple variables can take different values at
17       different positions, throughout a document. User variables have the
18       same value throughout a document. Due to the latter´s global nature it
19       is safe to change them with an external application.
20
21       Use odfuserfield to fill out form letters before printing or giving to
22       the user.
23
24       “Path” is assumed to be an OpenDocument file of text, spreadsheet or
25       presentation type.
