I accidentally (cleaning my keyboard) hit some shortcut keys and now all dates in a odt changed to showing "date (fixed)" instead of actual date

I have done this before and forgot what shortcut keys I hit. I had LO configured to paste the actual date in documents, which I placed using my own shortcut key - and there are thousands of dates - but now “date (fixed)” is what is shown in all the date fields, despite trying to edit the field, though I can choose “date” which only results in “date” being shown in all the fields.
LO-Date

Page numbers also are not shown, as just “page number” is instead.

Thanks. I just found it myself, and now it is fixed. Thank God for those willing to help, as you did. Appreciated, even though this was simple.

Perhaps consider disabling the keyboard temporarily while you clean it; there are a lot of other keyboard shortcuts you may trigger.

Yes, you are right, as I should have.
