But, re both your comments above and the bug, reading <http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo2.x/user_guide2_draft.pdf> at p111 "Numbering and Numbering Styles": "Numbering in a document may be applied either as direct formatting or by using a Style..."
So, it seems there's two numbering methods, and the one most commonly used (by Shift+F12 or the Bullet button on the Format bar) has no 'consistent' process of definition - I have noticed that if I select one of the panes under either of the "Bullets", "Numbering type", "Outline", "Graphics" tabs then switch tabs to either of "Position" or "Options" then the selection seems to be reflected there and this becomes the default for... something... and for how long it holds... and until what overrides it... These seem something of a mystery to the black arts of bulleting! Thanks for the follow up - very much appreciate locking down how this feature is actualy supposed to work... What ever it is, it's certainly a long way from intuitive. Regards, Morgan. -- Morgan Read <mailto:mstuffATplDOTnet> get a life; GET FIREFOX! <www.getfirefox.com> WHY ME?
