Confirmed issue on latest Hardy OOo in hardy-proposed. Updated
description and title.

** Summary changed:

- problems with set and show variable. after change, the variables is showed 
displayed incorrectly (blank field)
+ TEXT variables formated incorrectly as FLOAT in footer

** Description changed:

- Create a variable (ctrl+f2 -> variables -> set variable, with name say "Name" 
and value "John")
- Now show it (ctr+f2 -> variables -> show variable -> Name)
+ 1. Set a variable with content "2008-xx/xx" and set it's type to TEXT
+ 2. Show the variable - it works
+ 3. Create page footer
+ 4. Show variable in the footer
+ 5. save and exit
+ 6. open document again
+ 7. you will notice that the variable in footer is showed as "2008" instead 
"2008-xx/xx".
+ If you right click on this field and select "Field..." you see that it is set 
to be displayed as TEXT, yet it is displayed as FLOAT.
  
- It works fine so far.
+ when analyzing OFD's xml, then we see that normal fields are in
+ content.xml but the footer one is in styles.xml and it is:
  
- Now change the first variable by clicking on it and changing value from 
"John" to "Bob".
- Then it doesnt work:
- 1) the first field (set) still shows John instead Bob
- 2) the second field now doesnt show nothing at all!
+ <style:footer><text:p text:style-name="Standard">Display3:
+ <text:variable-get text:name="nr" office:value-type="float" 
style:data-style-name="N0">2008</text:variable-get>
+ </text:p></style:footer>
  
- In screenshot we see
- 1) the image after change from John to Bob
- 2) "debug" of variables (option ctlr+F9 - show variables names)
- 3) dialog of editing the varaibles
+ is this office:value-type="float" correct?
+ 
+ See attached testcase ODT on comment 7
