You can still use numbered paragraphs, for example the paragraph styles Numbering1, Numbering2, etc or a copy of them. In the paragraph style choose the Outline and Numbering tab. For Outline level, choose Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 etc. This causes the paragraphs to appear like headings in the Navigator. For Numbering style choose Numbering 1 (for all levels), and you will apply the different indents in the Numbering 1 list style.

You do this by specifying the proper offsets in the Numbering 1 list style. Here is an example: In tab Options you specify the number of sublevels. For Level n, you have Show sublevels = n, so you get the numbering 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc. In tab Position: All of them Numbering alignment: Left, Followed by Tab stop Level 1: Aligned at 0cm, Tab stop at 0.5cm, Indent at 0.5cm Level 2: Aligned at 0.5cm, Tab stop at 1.2cm, Indent at 1.2cm Level 3: Aligned at 1.2cm, Tab stop at 2.3cm, Indent at 2.3cm Each level is aligned at the Tab stop of the previous level. Tab stop = Indent, and the difference between 'Tab stop' and 'Aligned at' should be big enough to accomodate the numbering. -- Piet van Oostrum <[email protected]> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe 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
