Hi :) The Writer's Guide, Chapter 4 "Formatting Pages", bottom of page 16 and page 17, might help http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Writer_Guide
Just out of curiosity do you have a database or contacts list of all the members? If so then it might be possible to use some sort of "mail merge" to generate a list for you. Hopefully it would allow you to delete out some of the rows to remove duplicates or people away on holiday or whatever. Generally in word-processors it is easier to avoid numbering these things until after the list is complete and then do the whole lot in one go. Typing in the numbers instead of using the automatic numbering can become cumbersome. Hopefully someone else can help you with switch off the auto-numbering tho! Good luck and regards from Tom :) --- On Tue, 10/1/12, George E Noon <[email protected]> wrote: From: George E Noon <[email protected]> Subject: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Writer problem To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, 10 January, 2012, 6:57 Hi, I use Libre Office Writer as my word processor & really haven't had much in the way of problems or annoyances. However, as I am Secretary of my Odd Fellow Lodge, I at times need to write up lists of various sorts, and really do not want any pre-programmed 'wizard' or what have you deciding how things are arranged. As it is the 'numbers & bullets' function is constantly changing whatever I attempt to do to some arrangement I absolutely do not want. Please; does some one know how that can be (preferably) permanently shut off or disabled? I think I've gone through just about all the menus & settings and can not figure it out. As an example, earlier today I had to make up a listing of my lodge's members with columns for surname, first & middle name, office held, home (mail) address, phone #, & e-mail. Columns are no problem. But then, I want the list numbered --- well, wherever that particular 'gremlin' hides within the program, I would real like to have him evicted, as it were. If I missed a member and had to go back and add them in {alphabetically, by last names} why the added line gets automatically indented (throwing off all the columns!), and if I can manage to get it back where I want it, seemingly nearly any keystroke is liable to move it again............. I really hope that someone has an idea to help. Thanks ever so much for any assistance. ~George~ (Whitman MA USA) -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] 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 -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] 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
