Joel et al,
Curious, I tried "=TODAY()" as a field variable formula and it
doesn't work, with or without the "=". Inserting a table is a
brute force method, but as you say, it doesn't seem to work
either. Writer's tables are a subset of Calc tables and
"=TODAY()" may not be a supported formula. A better approach
might be to:
1. Place the cursor where you want the date.
2. Select Insert -> Fields -> Other
3. Select the "Document" tab
4. Select "Date" for "Type"
5. Select "Date" for "Select"
6. Choose your date format under "Format".
7. Click on "Insert".
If in step #5 you select "Date (Fixed)", I think that will insert
today's date but it will not update in future edits. Even this
procedure may not work in a template. More investigation is needed.
Hope this helps.
