The style of the numbered equation is in fact (or should be) Table Contents which is hierarchically linked to the Text body style, so when you change your text body, the table contents style also changes. An easy solution therefore is to change the Table Contents to suit your needs, however if you have other tables in your document you will find that also the text in these tables is affected which is not nice. I am not sure how easy it is to change the embedded autotext code associated fo FN so I would follow J-B's suggestion of creating a new one. The easy way: 1. Type FN then F3 to insert an autotext 2. format the numbering to your liking 3. select the numbering and drag it in the styles and formatting window to create a new paragraph style which you will call "Formula" 4. select all the table 5. select Edit > Autotext from the main menu (or Ctrl + F3) 6. Pick the category My AutoText, enter a description and a shortcut then select the Autotext button on the right and click New You can now use your new shortcut + F3 to insert a numbered formula. The drawback of this method is that you are re-using the same variable as the FN shortcut and the same formatting. The complicated way would be to format the numbered formula differently (e.g. using a paragraph style with some indentation and tabulation instead of a borderless table); define your own numbered range. At this point follow stepse 4-6 above to create an autotext.
