Yes.  I just tried with emacs -Q and loading only orgmode (8.2.1
(release_8.2.1-120-g5975d7).  Basically, I only required ox-otd prior to
exporting my test document.

I do get many Orgxxx templates for lists, paragraphs, ... but none for
pages.

Any idea, what could be wrong here?

Sorry, my bad.  I had indeed disabled the author in the export
properties of the subtree and did not check there.

Well, I changed the date in the org file (#+DATE: 2013-10-10) and I do not know
where that value would be set in the odt.  In the standard export it is
included as text formatted as OrgSubtitle, so I guess it is not a field
value, I could display someplace else?

The field you suggest seems to give me what it says:  the creation date.

No(t too many) worries here.  I can live with that manual interaction
(for now). ;-)


Thanks a lot for all your help!
