Re: [libreoffice-users] Outline woes
Hi Andy, OOo and derivatives like LO cannot do outlining. What LO does is an outline formatting with the Navigator, which is useless for outlining. Those who use outlining intensively will confirm that (see link below). It has been an issue for more than 10 years now. Use a real outliner; I use "Pages '09" (cost about 14,95 Euro) on Mac. M$ also has outliners, but they cost more than double that of Pages. There are also some open-source outliners. Most of them export the finished documents into all word processor file types for the final formatting and printing. For more information see issue "Outline View (aka MS Word)": https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3959. I hope LO developers have another attitude to this show-stopper for most advanced and technical writers needing an outliner in LO. Otherwise we outliner users will not be able to use LO any more. Dreiel Hi, I am trying to create a report document template with a basic outline using styles so that the headings and formatting are automatic: I. A. i. a) I am finding this incredibly difficult and confusing. The further I try to teach myself how it works, the more confused I get. Could somebody give me a simple step by step process to create the following outline in an existing document, addressing the the different types of styles involved? I would be very greatful.

Highlight the text you want this numbering to apply to. Select the text format drop down (on left of font) and pick more, the styles dialogue opens. Select list styles from the icons. You can make a new style or say double click Numbering 5. Right click numbering 5 and modify. Under outline tab I think you want lower left, select it. Under options tab select each level on the left and change the "Start at" back to 1. Select OK. Select each block of text to lower 1 level, as all will be at the top level, and with the pop up bullets and numbering tool select the "Demote 1 level with subpoints". Demote the text to the required subpoint as needed. Confusing, don't know why the subpoints don't start numbering from 1. Steve - Andrew A. D. Rahn IV, ARA RAHN LAND Inc.

It is confusing and you are not the only one who struggle with it. You have to distinguish between 1. Numbering headings by automatic 2. Numbering headings by manipulating styles 3. Not numbering headings, but making a list. So please first tell, whether you want to number your headings or making a list.
