I totally agree, the old template does look 'old'. With LibreOffice being a 'new' product I think it is very important to rebrand and modernise. An updated font and colour scheme will be very important to make it appear 'new'. >> I would like the documents to use outline numbering <> you would say "Please >> reference 7.2 Formatting Paragraphs." This sounds fantastic. I have found in my work as a professional end user I always use outline numbering. It makes it look more professional and brings with it some big advantages for ease of use. I don't think it would make it unapproachable as Jean suggests as a lot of end user products now use numbered outlines (See Wikipedia:OpenOffice.org). I also think this more professional look would also assist the LibreOffice product in breaking into enterprise markets.

The good part is that if the chapter and numbering system does not allow us to do this we can alter the program so that it can handle this requirement, and it is a very important requirement for many professional end users.
