OOO Well I have no hair left. OpenOffice paragraph numbering is completely frustrating. I have one document where no combination of numbering features will provide a basic nested numbered outline (1., 1.1., 1.1.1., etc). In fact there are 3 different ways to set numbering (format an outline, change a paragraph style, format paragraph) and they all seem completely disconnected.

I have a second document where everything behaves *perfectly*; even the paragraph styles change appropriately as things are promoted/demoted. But for this second document, all of the numbering features in all 3 places are completely turned *off*. I have no idea how they got this all to work. Grrrrrrr. Then there's the whole issue of a mysterious numbering toolbar that clearly exists, but can't be displayed. nice. ( Feb 11 2005, 09:06:41 AM PST ) Permalink Comments [0]
