Here is what's available in Writer: http://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Instructions_for_Using_Writer#Headings.2C_Types_of_Numbering Or, the Oracle guys provide some good specifications for that: http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/index.html And, of course - and as Ricardo already started - just ask to get a feeling how Styles do work. For example, my two proposals for improving the use of styles would be (but have to be checked): * Pre-define the paragraph styles related to numbering by referring to the numbering styles having the same name * Manual numberings / lists should inherit the settings of the first "corresponding" numbering style [...] > Too long for an email... in fact, there is one chapter of my book on > Writer (Spanish only, sorry) only devoted to how numbered lists are > aligned... :-) [...] > So as I already said on another thread, we have a powerful, solid but > obscure system for numbering.

True, and I think that's exactly the reason why we should make it more visible - that might reduce the need for fiddling around with manual settings without knowing what to do. > Cheers > Ricardo Thanks Ricardo, Michel!
