------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Oct 19 11:20:30 +0000 2007 ------- I use the German version of OO. Since OO Version 1, I incorporated user-defined variables in the footer. That means, I defined a variable in the body of the document template thru the known process via the menu INSERT, e.g. LETTERNUMBER and gave it a value, e.g. "2007-nnn". Afterwards I set the cursor in the footer and chose "DISPLAY VARIABLE" "LETTERNUMBER", where it shows then "2007-nnn". So basically, my template has a field in the body of the document, where I can click and overwrite the number of the letter and automatically the value in the footer should be changed. This worked until I implemented the OO 2.3 version. Now there's a bug showing a "0" as value in the footer regardless of the value I put in the "SET VARIABLE" "LETTERNUMBER" field. I could narrow this issue down to: variables with format "date" or "number" show correctly. Variables with format "Standard" or "Text" show "0". In the body of the document all tested variables show correctly. This affects not only the "simple" "SET/DISPLAY VARIABLE" but also the "INPUT BOX VARIABLE(?)" (in German called "EINGABEFELD"). I urgently need help on this, since my whole correspondence depends on it. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
