non-MS Word options for creating Merge Templates
Similar to this idea https://idealab.foundant.com/forums/339786-glm-slm-idea-lab/suggestions/43307628-google-docs MS Word is not always available. For example when working from home and using personal computers or for organizations that opt for Google Docs or a free open source solution like Libre Office. I did a test just now and editing an example template in Google Docs, exporting as a .docx, then creating a new Template with it seems to break all the formatting of even fields that were not edited.
It would be great if having a ready copy of MS Word was not required to use this feature. Perhaps there could be another import option that didn't rely on as much fancy formatting and assuming the fields were formatted correctly "«PaymentDate1_2»" GLM would recognize and be able to use them.
