If there is a way of doing that...is there then a way of assigning a specific number to the first instance and letting it increment from there? o Click just above your first column to select it. Alternatively, right-click in the column and go to Column > | Select. o Open the Styles and Formatting window. o Click the List Styles button at the top. o Double-click one of the Numbering styles. (Try each to see which meets your needs.) o If you don't want the trailing tab or full stop or whatever, right-click on the style name in the Styles and Formatting window and select Modify... . Use the Position and Options tabs to adjust the style to what you need. You will notice that if you insert extra rows the numbering will adjust itself automatically - as you ask. You say you want additional information in that first column - which you can indeed add. Alternatively, it may be easier to put this is an additional column. I trust this helps.

I don't know if this it's possible... because I'm not expert in Writer, but, if only it's possible with macros, I can help you, I like this idea. I tried insert a formula (=LAST_ROW+1) in each row, but, if I insert new rows, this values not update automatically Best regards -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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] Automated table row numbering in Writer?
I am making tables in LibreWriter. The structure is one short column with a couple of numbers, followed by one long column with information that I type in. The individual rows are eventually cut out and put into stamp albums. I've looked around for a "table row" field and I can't find one. One of the numbers in the first column is sequential and will serve as a page number after I stick that row into the album. It would be wonderful if I could insert a field and have the rows number themselves - especially for those times I go back and discover that I left something out 50 rows before. If there is a way of doing that...is there then a way of assigning a specific number to the first instance and letting it increment from there? I could almost certainly do this in Calc, but Calc lacks a few formatting niceties, and I'd prefer to keep it in Writer if I can.
