Abstract
We show that every henselian valued field of residue characteristic 0 admits a proper subfield which is dense in . We present conditions under which this can be taken such that is transcendental and is henselian. These results are of interest for the investigation of integer parts of ordered fields. We present examples of real closed fields which are larger than the quotient fields of all their integer parts. Finally, we give rather simple examples of ordered fields that do not admit any integer part and of valued fields that do not admit any subring which is an additive complement of the valuation ring.
