Created attachment 156174 [details] What the grey box looks like I can't recall when this started. It does not occur in the Linux version. Create a Writer file and save it somewhere so you know the path/filename. Insert Header and Footer Select Footer Default style Insert Field More fields .. Path/Filename A grey box containing the text "File name" appears onscreen. This is not the same as in the Linux version where the correct path/filename appears. The path/filename appears correctly if the document is print previewed or printed.
Please have a look at Tools => Options = LibreOffice Writer => View => Display I assume, that "Field Codes" is enabled. Should work, if you disable it. Does this solve your problem? => NEEDINFO
Thank you Dieter. Disabling it does indeed mean the pat/filename is shown. Interestingly enough, it was already disabled in the Linux version - the difference is a bit bizarre.
