I'm with Richard on this one. I've added (in r4299) the following
to the end of the summary paragraph about fixed-length keyword
substitution:<br>
<blockquote>Of course, where binary file formats are concerned, you
must always take great care that any keyword substitution you
introduce--fixed-length or otherwise--does not violate the
integrity of that format. While it might sound easy enough, this
can be an astonishingly difficult task for most of the popular
binary file formats in use today, and <i>not</i> something to be
undertaken by the faint of heart!<br>

the idea of it but it doesn't need to be so long. The basic

Hello,
Please find attached a patch für the chapter about keyword substitutions. It is a specific note for users of MS Office
who are thinking of using the substitution on their office files.
We had support cases regarding this topic; so I felt it couldnt hurt to add this note to the official documentation.
regards
Walter
