I know about the default tab spacing set in Tools | Options | Writer |
General - but that cannot be the only way to set indentation levels.
Under List (Numbering) styles I see nothing about tab stops, which could
be fine because every list also has paragraph attributes, and tabs are
included in Paragraph styles [though I would think that hierarchical
lists can have special indentation requirements that a Paragraph style
does not accommodate]. But AFAICS that setting is only for adding tab
stops; it's (apparently) not possible to simply wipe out all tab stops
in the style and define new ones. I know that can't be true, but I
don't find the way to wipe all tab stops; the "Delete All" button seems
to apply only to "custom" tabs stops that were /added/ to the style.
As usual, I'm confused. Can you not use position settings as shown in
Chapter 7 Page 255 (or methods shown in Chapter 6) of OpenOffice.org 3
Writer Guide?
No, as usual, /I'm/ confused - and sorry for wasting the time and space
of this list because I forgot that list indentations are not linked to
tab settings - which led to conflating two unrelated questions. One
question - about setting list indentations - is something about which I
knew better but had a brain cramp, for reasons I can't explain or excuse.
The other question - about clearing the default tabs set in Tools |
Options in order to make way for a different set of tab stops in a
paragraph style - is the one that was annoying me, and for which I have
not yet found an answer. I wish I knew why, late last night, I
connected it to the list indentation problem. [Presumably it was because
I was also worrying over list indentation - and because I also use
another word processor for which tabs /do/ affect list indentation. But
that's no excuse.] I did not find this in the Writer Guide: How /do/
you clear the default tab stops to make way for others in a style?
