Hello Dan, Actually there is a logic in the numbers (well... at least an attempt :-) ). Numbered lists The new template use the following three list styles: OOoNum 123 OOoNum abc OOoNum iii The only tricky thing is with the first level. OOoNum 123 has the numbers right aligned, therefore, unlike OOoNum abc and OOoNum iii, the alignment reference of the number (Aligned at field in the position page) is moved a bit to the right (at 1cm instead of 0.64cm). Bullet lists THe new template use only the following two styles: OOoBullets 1 OOoBullets 2 In my version of the template the values set in the Position page are not all 0: have you by any chance saved the file at some point in time with OOo2.x? this really makes a mess out of numbered lists due to the difference between ODF1.0/1.1 and ODF 1.2. Please try not to use the List styles directly but use instead the associated paragraph styles. In some cases, due to a problem with lists in some of the developers' snapshots the best way to fix bullet and numbered lists is to re-create them from scratch taking care of copying then the original text in the new structure, taking care to avoid the paragraph mark. Cheers, Michele
