Okay..... I go to insert->fields->other->variables->set variables. then I set format as text and enter the variable name then a value- press insert and it enters the field as it should. I can't figure out how to change the variable though. When I enter a new value nothing happens and if I click insert it inserts the new value. How do I get it to change the value of the variable? :-)~MIKE~(-: On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 11:12 AM, Michael Havens wrote: > > :-)~MIKE~(-: > > > On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 9:25 AM, G Gambill wrote: > >> Is there a way to link your Libreoffice document fields to a Libreoffice >> spreadsheet? >> >> Just a thought >> >> >> On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 9:15 AM, Michael Havens wrote: >> >>> I've been looking at this for a while now but can't figure it out.
