Writer: Modified Date not appearing

[dfmamea]

hi there

have tried Insert Fields -> Other -> DocInformation -> Modified -> Date/Time but only get either:
- the actual date/time appears once but upon refreshing (or opening the document later) becomes just field shading, or
- a date doesn't appear at all (except for the field shading).

have used the Insert Fields -> Other -> General -> Date/Time and it works fine every time. but it's not what i want.

i've tried to find some Field View option or setting but can only find Show Field Code or Field Shading options.

please can someone help.

Maybe you can have a look at this thread on the forum.

You may have run into another OpenOffice.org bug related to date fields.

See http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78816 for another example of date fields not working properly after saving.
