I recently installed OOo3 from the Launchpad repo in Ubuntu 8.10 and
found the following:
In OOo2 you can start bulleting a list by typing an asterisk, then a
space, then some text and when you press enter it is automatically
turned into a bullet. These autobullet lists are malformatted in
OOo3, and you cannot continue them or work with them using the same
margins, as OOo3 applies its own margins to new bullet items. So,
you have to manually unbullet each item in the list and use OOo3's
menu to add bullets.
There do appear to be differences between bulleting in versions 2 and
3; I don't claim to understand them.
Furthermore, when I start a bulleted list in a new doc in OOo3, save
it and close it, and then re-open it, it seems to insert tab chars
before each bulleted item's text. I delete the tabs, save and close,
reopen and they're back again.
Is there something I'm doing wrong or can someone confirm that these are bugs?
I suspect that this is not a bug but rather just how version 3 does
bulleting by default. Note that, in bulleting created in version 3
(as you describe here), you can modify this detail. Go to Format |
Bullets and Numbering... | Position (or right-click |
Numbering/Bullets... | Position) and look at "Numbering followed
by". You have the choice of Tab stop (which appears to be the
default), Space, or Nothing. You can also adjust the various spacing
elements on the same panel.
I trust this helps.
