1. Set a variable with content "2008-xx/xx" and set it's type to TEXT 2. Show the variable - it works 3. Create page footer 4. Show variable in the footer 5. save and exit 6. open document again 7. you will notice that the variable in footer is showed as "2008" instead "2008-xx/xx". If you right click on this field and select "Field..." you see that it is set to be displayed as TEXT, yet it is displayed as FLOAT.
when analyzing OFD's xml, then we see that normal fields are in content.xml but the footer one is in styles.xml and it is: <style:footer><text:p text:style-name="Standard">Display3: <text:variable-get text:name="nr" office:value-type="float" style:data-style-name="N0">2008</text:variable-get> </text:p></style:footer> is this office:value-type="float" correct?
