Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Bullets Numbering

2014-03-23 Thread Tom Davies
HI :)
Ah, i like that.  Another way seems to be to do all the numbering
really close together as is default and then go back through the list
and press enter on it's own to add an extra line.  Of course it's also
possible to configure your styles so that lists behave slightly
differently to the body-text
Regards from
Tom :)

 Hi,

 I've tried various things, none of them will give me the above
 structure.  It refuses to number item 1h (or anything thereafter)
 properly.  Kevin, I read your article 2 and 3 which are very
 informative.  But I'm still unable to get it to behave.  It will do a
 variety of (mostly bizarre) things.  At various points it made the h
 an a, if I restart numbering, a b, if I continue the previous
 numbering an o for some reason, a bullet when I hit enter after g.ii.,
 and absolutely nothing at one point.  Clearly I'm doing something wrong,
 but I'm at a loss as to determine what it is.

 In the options tab of bullets and numbering :

 - set Level 1 to use numbers;
 - set Level 2 to use lower case letters;
 - set Level 3 to use romanized lower case letters

 When typing use return to add a new line with the same numbering level
 style, and Tab to indent and switch to the numbering level style below.

 Empty new lines seem to remove the numbering style settings.
 Using Shift-Tab to move up a numbering style level doesn't work as
 expected if you are on the last line of your document, it jumps two
 levels up (I don't consider that to be normal behaviour, but maybe that
 is how it is designed).

 Alex


 If I want an empty new line WITHOUT changing the level I'm on, and without
 giving a bullet or number to that empty line, then I create the empty line
 by typing [ctrl]-[enter] at the end of the previous line.

 Also, in the Formatting toolbar, the Decrease Indent (or
 [ctrl]-[alt]-[left arrow]) and Increase Indent (or [ctrl]-[alt]-[right
 arrow]) icons are helpful.

 Hope this helps,
 Tim Deaton

Yes, but it is not predefined, so would have to do that yourself via the
Bullets  Numbering dialog, in the Options tab.

If you intend to use this Bullets and numbering you want a lot, I would 
create a style for it, may be call it legal style. You can then apply it 
repeatedly with a couple of clicks and copy it to other documents.
