<pre>I think it's not a bug, but the variable-dialog is quite unclear. Please try as
follows:
1. Create new document
2. Press Ctrl+F2, go to Variables tab
3. Lets create a variable
3a.enter TestVar in Name field
3b.enter TestVal in Value
3c.CHOOSE TEXT in FORMAT
press Insert and press Close.
Now you have the text in the variable. So I think Format = Standard requires
numbers, but that's not clear.
Could you solve the problem? => set to NEEDINFO</pre>
