------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 29 18:09:34 +0000 2007 ------- when a variable is displayed in the header of a document by the "show variable" field, everything works fine when you have just inserted it. The variable displayed in the header changes when a new value is defined in the document. Save the document, close it and open it again. The header now displays "0" where it should display the value of the variable. There is no way to change it, it is locked. The first solution is to delete the "show variable" field and insert it again. Then everything is fine again, until you close and reopen the document. A strange workaround may help developers to find the issue : Define a variable test1 in the document, and give it some different values. Insert a "show variable test1" field in the header. Verify that everything is OK. Close and reopen the document. You have now "0" in the header. Add a "set variable test1="anything"" in the header. Nothing has changed, you still have the "0" displayed. Close and reopen the document. Now the variable is displayed normally as it should. Conclusion : there is something which does not work when the document loads. The header is "unaware" of the presence of a variable. If a "set variable" field has been inserted in the document, then something new happens which makes the header aware of the "show variable" field. Now this should happen in every case. It should not be too difficult do fix. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
