Hi list

One of the biggest (personal) bugbears I have with LibO (and OOo before this) is the issue of numbering and bulleting. It just seems counter-intuitive to me and is one of the very few areas where I think that MS has a better approach.

I have a numbered list in a table and now I want sub-numbers, such as:

1. text text text text text
    1.1. text text text text
    1.2. text text text text
2. text text text text text

However two things happen:
(1) I have to manually play around with the sub-number positions so that there isn't (a) a large tab space between the number and the start of the text and (b) the sub-number is aligned reasonably close to the main number; and (2) the text of the sub-number (e.g. 1.1.) does not align itself to where the text for that sub-number starts. Instead, it goes all the way to align with the main number (e.g. 1.).

This is difficult to reproduce using the email but basically it looks really sloppy, and I don't know how to set it up so that the numbers and sub-numbers and the associated text align in blocks.

I think that there is something I might be able to do with a style page - but that seems like a lot of work just to get some numbers aligned.

Any ideas/ suggestions?

Thanks
