Um... a heap of different versions it looks like, on the systems I use regularily, some from ELPA (one of the ELPA archives), some from org git, and the version delivered with emacs 24.3. Right now I'm on a debian box using git org, and I've done make clean git pull make and started a fresh emacs. And here I see a different behaviour > You can turn the use of date fields in LibreOffice on or off with > org-odt-use-date-fields. With date fields set to t: Hm... 'C-h v org-odt-use-date-fields RET' says: org-odt-use-date-fields is a variable defined in `ox-odt.el'. Its value is nil > - Setting :EXPORT_DATE: in the subtree and exporting the subtree results > in an ODT export with that date in the header, not today's date. > - Inspecting the date field shows that the date is "fixed".

Hm... I may play around with these settings, but for now I'm happy with the default behaviour (no date stamp). I'll go to git org on all of my emacsen. Thanks!
