True, the old ones work. And as Jean pointed out, the two different

Assume for a moment that you needed to change it from OOoHeading 0 to
XYZ. In 3.0, this was not a problem. In 3.1 I'm stuck. Of course, since
the templates work, it can be ignored for now. I was just curious what
happen to the ... after Outline in ToC which gave you the ability to
work with the levels without the apparent problems I've been having.

Anthony, I'm not sure what you mean by "the ... after Outline in ToC
which gave you the ability to work with the levels..." Which exact
dialog are you referring to? In all the places I can think to look,
changing OOoHeading 0 to XYZ works just fine for me.

Any paragraph style should work for the outline process, no? Including
all the custom styles?
Gary: Yes, and they do work for me.
Anthony:
1) I want to make sure I'm looking at the same file that you are. Is this the
one you are talking about?
http://www.oooauthors.org/english/userguide3/res3/OOo3_book_template.ott
2) Are you attempting to edit the template (.ott) itself, or a document (.odt)
based on the template?
If it's the template itself, when you opened it for editing the first time, you
may have been asked if you wanted to update styles from the chapter template. If
that happened, and you answered "yes", then the outline numbering (and possibly
some other settings) would have been changed. It's easy enough to change them
back (and works for me the way it should), but could does cause confusion.
I probably should remove that connection to the chapter template, because there
need to be some differences between the two templates (primarily in the outline
numbering, but also in the OOoHeading 0 style itself and perhaps some other things.
I don't recall that template "chaining" (or whatever it's called) worked in
early versions of OOo, but I could well be wrong. Chaining is a great feature,
if someone knows it's happening and can plan for it, but it can also cause a lot
of problems for the unwary. Another thing for me to study and experiement with!
