When you export and import an HTML document containing DocInformation fields, special LibreOffice formats are used.

The following fields can only be inserted if the corresponding field type is selected in the Type list.

## Select

Lists the available fields for the field type selected in the Type list. To insert a field, click the field, and then click Insert.

To quickly insert a field from the list, hold down CommandCtrl and double-click the field.

Fields | Function
Previous page | Inserts the page number of the previous page in the document.
Next page | Inserts the page number of the next page in the document.
Page Number | Inserts the current page number.

In the Format, click the numbering format that you want to use.

If you want, you can enter an Offset for the displayed page number. With an Offset value of 1, the field will display a number that is 1 more than the current page number, but only if a page with that number exists. On the last page of the document, this same field will be empty.

For the "Created", "Modified", and "Last printed" field types, you can include the author, date, and time of the corresponding operation.

## Format

Click the format that you want to apply to the selected field, or click "Additional formats" to define a custom format.

When you click "Additional formats", the Number Format dialogue opens, where you can define a custom format.

## Fixed content

Inserts the field as static content, that is, the field cannot be updated.

Fields with fixed content are only evaluated when you create a new document from a template that contains such a field. For example, a date field with fixed content inserts the date that a new document was created from the template.
