------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jul 14 06:05:51 -0700 2005 ------- Help->About gives version 1.9.113 Variables are not displayed correctly when 'set' and 'show' are split between header and body. Reproducible: Create an empty document and enable header. Click in the header. Ctrl-F2 to show Fields doalog. Click on the 'Variables' tab of the dialog. Click Type 'Set Variable', Format 'Text' Enter 'foo' for Name and 'fooval' for Value. Click Insert. Repeat to create a 'set' for variable 'bar' in the header. Click on the body of the document. In the Fields dialog, click Type 'Show variable', Selection 'foo', click Insert. A field called foo is inserted but the value is blank. Expected the value to be as set in the header. Repeat for bar, the value is also blank. Additional info: It's possible to set a third variable in the body, and after that in the document it is once more possible to show the values of the variables that were set in the header. If the 'show's are deleted then there comes a point where all the 'show's of the variables set in the header become blank suddenly. It's also possible to set variables in the body of the document, but 'show' in the header does not work, or may work only for the first instance of 'show'. Background: I have been trying to create a document template that uses variables to allow setting document title, number, issue etc. in one place only. The behaviour of the variables is thwarting this. I have done a fair bit of experimentation but not found a working combination of set and show that spans the header and body. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
