    Yes, I think you've described what I meant quite correctly.Â 
    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.Â  For text variables only a empty space character appears.Â 
    For numeric variables meant to represent the date, it inserts the
    number zero (which displays the date 30 Dec 1899).Â  Perhaps there is
    something obvious that I am missing.Â  Perhaps it is something unique
    to LO 4.0 on WinXP.Â  I created a sample document today as a
    demonstration (see attached).Â  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.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks.<br>

        <pre>I am trying to verify this, but I would like to understand what you are doing,
exactly. This is my first time creating a variable. I went to Insert -&gt; Other
-&gt; Variables and used Set Variable to create a new variable myVar with text
"variable text". Then I followed your steps.

Insert -&gt; Fields -&gt; Other -&gt; Variables -&gt; ShowVariable, and clicked Insert. It
worked on inserting "variable text" or the name myVar, depending on which I
selected. It worked for the Header and Footer.

If this is not what you meant, could you please clarify?

    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for your reply and for looking into this.<br>
    <br>
    I created a sample document based on the document I use at work that
    has been giving me trouble.Â  I have attached the file.<br>
    <br>
    I use Debian testing at home which currently runs LO 3.5.4.2.Â  The
    file works correctly in my home environment but did not work earlier
    today at work using Win XP with LO 4.0.0.3.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for your help.<br>

        <pre>Can you attach a document that has several variables so we can test it out?
Going to mark as NEEDINFO, once you attach document, mark as UNCONFIRMED and
I'll test 3.6 vs. 4.0 vs. 4.1, thanks!</pre>
