Let me preface this by saying that when I hit F11, and saw "list styles" I thought it was a 'list of styles'; (like a list of files) , not styles applied to lists. That's just to give you a frame of reference of my knowledge level.
After asking a question about "tabs" earlier this year, I hit Amazon for some reference books that had been recommended. It was cheaper than printing them myself, and I just have to have a hard copy to highlight, etc. I've been reading "Getting Started with OpenOffice.org 3 (Published by Friends of OpenDocument, Inc)" and "Writer Guide (Published by SoHo Books)" both of which appear to be hard copy versions of the docs at the OOo Author's Site). I've checked out the on-line references a good old "google" search got me. I can not tell you how confused I am. Here's what I want to do: Create a list of test questions numbered 1 through 10. Each number will be flush left just like the first letter of a paragraph would be. My out- of-the-box set-up of 3.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 keeps wanting to assign a number style and indent the number. I get the first question written and the form is correct. When I hit return to begin a new paragraph, the previous number is indented. Do I need to set up a list style? A page style? Why, if I don't want any style, do I get one by default? Shouldn't it be the other way around? If you could point me towards which specific "style" I need to work with, that will be a big help. It may be just me, but this isn't very intuitive. mcm -- Mark C.
