[libreoffice-users] Writer: Numbering Bullets: Reduce indent for all Outilnes in the entire document
To change the indent for multiple Outlines in a Writer document, one can select them with the mouse and then alter their properties. However, one must then be careful not to select any non-Outline text. To change all the Outline indentation without painstakingly selecting the relevant sections in 39 pages, I tried looking in the Styles for a style to alter. None of the styles seems to be correct, though, even the promisingly-named List Indent style. So how does one change the default outline indent for a document? Better yet, if this is addressed in the fine manual I would love to know where. I cannot seem to find it.

Hi. Did you apply the outline with the buttons in the tool bar or by applying a style. If you used the buttons, you may be stuck. If you used a style you can edit the style you used and all outline with that style should change. I have encountered this in the past and avoid those buttons, to my way of thinking the buttons should operate by applying a style and not by overloading a style. steve On 2012-03-23 05:35, Dotan Cohen wrote: To change the indent for multiple Outlines in a Writer document, one can select them with the mouse and then alter their properties.

Neither, it was done with autoformatting * characters. If you used the buttons, you may be stuck. If you used a style you can edit the style you used and all outline with that style should change.

If I decide to increase the text size of the entire document, obviously I want the lists to have their text size increased as well. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com -- 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
