--- Comment #3 from nor...@lavabit.com --- Thanks for your reply. Yes, I think you've described what I meant quite correctly. However, when I choose ShowVariable, it will insert the correct text and date in the the main body of the document but not in headers or footers. For text variables only a empty space character appears. For numeric variables meant to represent the date, it inserts the number zero (which displays the date 30 Dec 1899). Perhaps there is something obvious that I am missing. Perhaps it is something unique to LO 4.0 on WinXP. I created a sample document today as a demonstration (see attached). The same problem occurred using WinXP, but when I opened the test document at home where I run Debian testing and LO 3.5.4.2, there was no problem at all. Thanks.
