I was just curious why only that figure (hopefully) was that way. In any
event, it's no big deal.

Michele,
BTW, you were the guinea pig chosen for using the new list paragraph styles
in the newer template, among others. Did you use any of them instead of
manually overriding the construction of the lists--pretty much the way we
have been doing lists all along?

Hello Gary,
I am not quite sure about what happened to Figure 1, I will need to
check. I am almost sure it is my fault since I was playing with the
less strict paragraph anchoring :-)
I tried to use the paragraph styles for applying bullets and
numbering, but I noticed some defects. I took some notes on my laptop
and will propose an update of the template some time next week. I just
came back from Japan so I do not feel like going to check now, but on
top of my head the problems are that some styles do not have any
numbering style defined inside them and that the sequence first -
continue - end is broken at a certain point.
Cheers,
Michele
The lists were set up now for first-level--unnested--lists. [The one
second-level list there was manually formatted without styles, in the
absence of nested list styles.] I noticed that the first list item (for
the numbered lists) was probably the way I had them. However, the
paragraph style used for the second and following list items had the
Default paragraph style applied.
They were set so that both a list style and a paragraph style were to be
used in unison for list items, and just the paragraph style used without
the list style for any paragraph(s) within the list that weren't
bulleted or numbered. Those styles had some temporary, interim
indentation/spacing applied.
The new lists were more compact (less vertical spacing between list
items) and the vertical spacing was increased for the final list item
(or embedded paragraph) so that the regular interparagraph spacing would
be maintained.
I found the new list styles easy to do and was pretty much the way that
Motorola/Freescale Semiconductor handled their FrameMaker tags--which
automatically would essentially combine OOo's list and paragraph styles
for their lists.
