Hello everyone, I wrote this Bug report some Years ago against Open Office. Unfortunately I had not so much time ( frequent travelling ) to follow up. At that time I changed the document - reduced amount of variables - to make it working. But now I´m back again to the Problem and no way out. Problem: As I already stated, I use the writer feature set/display variable heavily with losts of calculations referring previously set/calculated variables. After defining ( too ) many variables, writers enters a strange behaviour: Instead of showing the value of the set/show variable, it shows the just the name of this partikular and all further new introduced variables. I´ve tried to show the problem taking screen shots. I will send these screen shots and the document together with the post. A telephone contact in Germany would be nice to get, hence it`s much easier to explain the problem interactively. The basic questions - as far as i think - are: 1. Is there a limit in the number or size of variables ? 2. a pointer reference problem ? PLEASE: don´t complain: I still use an Open Office version of the Debian distro. Be shure that the problem is still in Libre Office to. The version I recognized the problem is 1.xx. So it WILL be in Libre Office too. OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 OOO320m19 (Build:9505) ooo-build 3.2.1.4, Debian package 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze2 PLEASE:Don´t ask me to use Calc instead. I use Calc when it good for. Not for documents!
