Let me try again. Follow the steps that I outlined above to set the type
of number outlining you want. When the cursor is where you want to begin a
numbered list, use the F11 key to open the Styles and Formating window. Click
the List Styles icon (to the left of the paint can). Double click this named
style: Numbering 1. This should place the "number" you want where the cursor
was. It will also open a toolbar in the upper part of the OOo window. If the
"number" that appears is a continuation of the last numbered list, click the
icon that has two Roman numeral (I & II) with a red arrow pointing up from
the II to the I. (This is the Start Numbering icon.) Clicking it once will
start the numbering again.
This information is probably in the Getting Started Guide available at:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html. The specific chapter
you want is Introduction to Styles.
