--- Comment #7 from Martin Sourada <[email protected]> ---
I'm really missing this feature. Having to do some ugly and tedious workarounds
in order to be able to have *working* automatic numbering of chapters, tables,
equations, pictures in appendices is a major problem when working with
openoffice (or libreoffice FWIW). I believe the solution shouldn't be that hard
programmatically, all the code is mostly in place -- you can number outlines in
1.1.1 style as well as A.1.1, you can use different paragraph styles per one
outline level (and have them correctly appear in TOC), you just cannot change
the 1, 2, 3... to A, B, C along with change from Heading 1 to Appendix Heading
1 without having to change everything else in order to get it work properly. I
think that if the outline level (as set in paragraph style) and numbering style
and level could connect, most of the work would be done. My idea is:

 * Heading 1 paragraph style: outline level 1, numbering style Chapter numbers
(1, *.1, *.*.1, etc.)
 * Appendix Heading 1 paragraph style: outline level 1, numbering style
Appendix numbers (A, *.1, *.*.1, etc.)
 * Heading 2 paragraph style: outline level 2, numbering style Chapter numbers,
previous number (if displayed as per the numbering style) taken from the latest
number used in outline level 1.
 * etc.
 * i.e. keep the latest used "number" in each level per level, not per outline
numbering style.

Document:
  1 Heading 1
  1.1 Heading 2
  1.1: Figure
  1.2: Figure
  2 Heading 1
  2.1: Table
  A Appendix Heading 1
  A.1 Heading 2
  equation (A.1)
  A.1 Table

I get very uncomfortable whenever I see that something rather trivial and
massively used is much easier done in Plain TeX than in OO Writer.
