Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer: Nested Bullet Lists with different bullets?
I finally figured out what my problem was. I was using the Indent button instead of the Demote button. Once I got my buttons straight everything worked fine.

Make any other changes that you want to use and click OK to close it. Save your Default template. One thing that was not mentioned explicitly. Step 1 needs to be done for each level of bullets you want to use. (I think from your original email that you understand this, but I wanted to make sure.) --Dan On 02/23/2013 06:01 PM, Kevin O'Brien wrote: Does this mean it cannot be done with a Style? The reason I ask is that this window seems very similar to the Style window, but I assume it will only let me do something in the current document. Presumably if I could create a style and save it in my Default template I would have it available to me for all future documents.

Somehow I am failing to do it, even when I see what looks like possibilities. For example, if you open the Numbering Style window, go to the Outline tab, and look at the bottom right selection it looks like what I want to do, but selecting it does not create this type of nested list. And when I go to the Options tab it lets me select different characters for each level, but it won't let me apply them. I'm thinking I may be missing some basic part of this that makes everything work. Can anyone shed light on this? Thank you, -- Kevin B.

This afternoon I installed Ubuntu 12.10 and LO 4.0.1.2. It worked on this OS as well. Remember that my computer is 32 bit, and this connector only works with 32 bit OS's. (You probably already know this.) Hope this is what you need. I do not know why the native connector will work with LO 4.0.0.3 unless that is a 64 bit OS. My tower also uses Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. The 64 bit native connector works well with both the 3.x and 4.x versions of LO. It is the 32 bit connector that has been the problem. I need to take some time thinking through what I did and writing it down. I know that there are several steps with some of them seemingly repetive. The last step (make dev-install) takes about 4-6 hours to run. So, I will have to get back to you on this sometime closer to the end of next week. --Dan -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Moving list items and re-numbering
I have another question regarding lists. If I create a Numbered list, I have items numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. On the Bullets and Numbering toolbar there are buttons for moving list items, which would let do something like move item #2 to the top of the list. But when I do so it is still #2. Is there a way to do this that would change the numbers so that the former #2 becomes #1, and the former #1 becomes #2? Thanks, -- Kevin B.
