Word Properties <?ref:xdo000X?>-BIP deskotop 11.119.00.0 (32-bit) with Office $ (32-bit) on Win 7 64-bit

BIP deskotop 11.119.00.0 (32-bit)
Office (32-bit)
Win 7 (64-bit)
The current certification matrix seems to say this is supported, and however I am having the following problem:
1. I have a existing RTF template with the data template that works. I have the run it to be sure, and can view output and verify.
2. If iopen that RTF template in BIP Desktop, then remove a field, and then using the field browser (or Insert > field ) Add that same field to back, or a new one of the report would not generate output.
Upload the RTF, and the process would finish with status warning, and it fails during post processing. I look at the Output Post Processor error. Edit the RTF template with a text editor and see this instead of putting in a <? Your_fieldname?> BIP Desktop have instead inserting something similar to the following: <?ref:xdo0001?>. The only solution I currently has are to manually change these tags, however for large BIP reports this is cumbersome, and Unacceptable for a long term solution.
Is there a workaround? or reported bug? I couldn ' t find anything on MOS for this.
Here's the OPP log, you can see the error points to the "REF" element, is added by Bip:desktop.

Checked backward comparability option without touching anything in the template and don ' t open the form Fields without loadng the XML file.

Hi
Thanks for all the responses in this one. We are using Word which I think accounts for a lot of the problems we ' ve been have in getting the plugin into work. We have the IT working now albeit by using a number of workarounds.
The main step we ' ve needed to take is, all of the fields in the report need to be edited via the word Properties-add Help text option So, the default fields in the Form Field Help text window beginning with ' ref ' is replaced with the Actual field names. So for example:
<?ref:xdo0002?>
Replaced with
<? Emplid?>
Importantly the F and E fields which is at the start and end of all fields listed in a template it has repeating values Need to be replaced as follows:
F field at the beginning:
<?ref:xdo0001?> replaced with <?for-each:row?>
and
E field at the end:
<?ref:xdo000?? > Replaced with <?end for-each?>
This allows any of the values to being listed in a report table.
By carrying out these steps we is able to use the Word templates when running the BI Publsher reports in Peoplesoft.
Kind Regards,
Neil

In options for BI Publisher- Choose Tab "Build" and radio button "backward compatible" -then BIP would create yo ur field names "10g style" as required by ...:-)
