Re: [libreoffice-users] Request for resoure suggestions.
Hi Michael, Michael Tiernan schrieb: I'm working on improving my formatting skills. I'm using a ~10pg document as my test. My first problem is to figure out a specific part of styles. I can format the document to have a heading (specifically heading 2) at the start of each section. Looks nice. Copied the existing style, made a few mods, very pleased. NOW, I want to try to add a number to each section and I'm having trouble understanding the correct route for this. I have already gotten: John George Paul Ringo and it worked fine. Now I want to change the style to be like: I John II George III Paul IV Ringo So, I can't tell if I should be trying to modify the Heading 2 style or if I should be trying to add a List format to the mix. I'm looking for suggestions on where I can read about the uses of each and learn the differences. You are looking for a numbering of headings. For that purpose List is always wrong. If you are not very advanced, you should not try to do it by changing the style. The way to go is via menu Tools and item Outline numbering.

Do you have already download the tutorials? Got them now and am going to get started on them If you are not very advanced, you should not try to do it by changing the style. The way to go is via menu Tools and item Outline numbering. This is helpful. Because I've not been intimidated by screwing with styles, I'm inclined to ask what is it about changing a style that is so much harder? (Just for my own future reference.)

With the predefined way you get automatic adapting numbering and paragraph style when demote or promote level. If you manually set an outline level and numbering style in the paragraph style, you need to adapt the paragraph style and the numbering style manually, when you demote or promote the chapter in the Navigator. For the self-made outline styles is no way inside the style to bind the level of the outline to the level of the numbering and no way to automatically set a certain paragraph style if the paragraph changes its outline level by promoting or demoting. You can workaround this problem by using conditional styles, but that works less nice than the Outline numbering tool.
