No computer access, but my guess its that the problem its that the format is set to an integer constant.
The correct method is to lookup the format index and create the format if it does not exist. I would explain more, but my phone is slow to use for this. Will have better access in a few days if needed. There is an example in andrewmacro.odt I believe.
