I have converted manually all the lists in the Writer guide and it took
quite a bit, so when I will start updating the Impress guide I will most
probably give you a shout although the macro would need to be rather
sophisticated as instead of using list styles directly we now embed the list
styles in the paragraph styles and furthermore we use three different
paragraph styles: one for the first list item, one for the last list item
and one for the items in between (if any).
The macro therefore should be sufficiently clever to:
1. find paragraph with an associated list style
2. apply to the paragraph the correct paragraph style depending on the
position of the list item in the list
3. apply the correct level
So a list like this in the user guide version 2.x
1. OOoNumbered list style level 1
2. OOoNumbered list style level 1
a) OOoNumbered list style level 2
b) OOoNumbered list style level 2
3. OOoNumbered list style level 1
Becomes in the user guide version 3.x
1. OOoNum 123 Start paragraph style (OOoNum123 list style level 1)
2. OOoNum 123 Cont. paragraph style (OOoNum123 list style level 1)
a) OOoNum abc Start paragraph style (OOoNum abc list style level 2)
a) OOoNum abc Cont. paragraph style (OOoNum abc list style level 2)
3. OOoNum 123 End paragraph style (OOoNum123 list style level 1)
Complicated eh?
Cheers,
Michele
