If you check out the auto text functionality (Ctrl + F3 will bring up all existing auto texts). Expand the 'standard' folder and select 'formula numbering'. You will see the short code of 'FN'. This means that on a blank line you simply enter FN, the select F3. You can also create index's of inserted formulas the same way you create table of contents. When inserting the index Instead of selecting table of contents, select the type of 'table of objects' then select OpenOffice.org Math from the list that appears.
