Hi Andrés:

You've sent this to both OOo users and LibO users.  Since you mentioned 
LibreOffice at the end, I assumed you were using that, and my reply was based 
on my version 3.3 beta 1 running on my Mac.  I haven't tested this on OOo, but 
I have no reason to suppose it won't work there.  Rest of my answer (again) is 
inline.

Not sure if I understand your needs correctly, but the only things I can see 
that are not standard in numbering systems are:

1. You want a dash (hyphen) after the number, thus: 1.-  1.1.- etc.
2. You want all the numbers left aligned with no indent.
3. You want the Appendices to have the word Appendix 1.- (or Annex 1.-) instead 
of just numbers.

It seems to me that all three of these are possible in LibO, but not all of 
them if you click on the numbering button on the toolbar.

Under Format on the menu (I don't know what that will be in Spanish) you will 
find Bullets and Numbering.  

Hop over the Bullets tab and choose your format on the Numbering Type tab (on 
the English version it would be the second on the top row).

I don't know whether you need to do anything on the Outline tab, but I don't 
think so.

Hop over the Graphics tab and on the Position tab select the "Aligned at" and 
"Indent at" values to zero.

On the  Options tab in the After field you will see a period "."  Replace this 
with period and hyphen ".-".

These steps will solve points 1 and 2 above.

In order to get the word "Appendix" or "Annex" in front, you will have to start 
a new section of your document after the last chapter.  In the new section you 
will have to go through the above process again, and on the Options tab you 
will additionally have to add either Appendix or Annex in the Before field.

Hope this helps.  If I've got it wrong, either someone else will correct me, or 
you'll have to come back and tell us what happened, and which bit didn't work.  
In that event, it would be good to know what operating system you use and which 
version of LibO.

Don't worry,  There's nothing wrong with your English.
