Mechtilde, as discussed in IRC today:
A "User Field" is NOT a variable. Unfortunately, it behaves like one until you
save the document.
-> Set issue to "Invalid"
What is need here is a Variable to be set. That field updates on-the-fly when
you enter new pages. I will attach a bugdoc to show this working.
This is the way I created the "Page correction field" in the document:
- New Writer doc, Ctrl+Enter two times to get 3 empty pages
- Insert-Footer-Standard, Click into Footer
- Enter Page Number and Page Count fields
- Insert - Fields - Other...
- On tab "Variables", in left box "Type" choose "Set variable"
- Enter a name in field "Name" (I took "PageCorrection")
- In Field "Value", enter (without Quotation marks) "PAGE+6"
- Click "Insert"
-> Done
I also entered the "Wrong Field":
- On tab "Variables", in left box "Type" choose "User field"
- Enter a name in field "Name" (I took "UPageCorrection")
- In Field "Value", enter (without Quotation marks) "PAGE+6"
- Click "Insert"
-> Now both fields show the correct value (9)
If needed, enable tip help: Tools-Options-OOo-General-Help, check "Tips", OK
-> When hovering over the fields, you can see that the first field shows
"PageCorrection = PAGE+6" while the second one shows the name (UPageCorrection)
only. Now when you enter a new page, the first field updates immediately, the
second one only after pressing <F9>.
And after a save and reload of the document, the second field keeps the value
that was calculated before saving even if F9 is used. Since the bugdoc is a
saved document, it only shows the "final state" :-)
