I am new to OpenOffice so forgive me if this question is simple.  I have
searched the Archives, but can't see any relevant discussion. Using
version 2.0

I am trying to create a document in which the headings are numbered 1,
2, 3 etc and the paragraphs under that heading are numbered 1.1, 1.2 ...
Then 2.1 2.2 etc after the next heading. (It's a legal document).  The
numbers should be at the left margin and the text indented 36pts
(another gripe is that I really want horizontal distances to be in units
related to length and the vertical line spacing to be in terms of font
size - but I can only seem to choose one or the other).

I created my heading line and gave it style heading 1, called up styles
and formating with F11 and right click on style heading1 and set the
numbering style to numbering1.

I created my first paragraph after the heading and editing it to have a
numbering1 as its list style.  After a lot of playing around - which I
am not sure quite how I solved it, I got this paragraph to have two
number levels.  I created a new style (clause) from this paragraph.

All seemed to work well as I was entering new paragraphs down to the
point where I created a new heading.  The following paragraph also has
the clause style, but it only has one numbering level, and its
indentation is all wrong.  But I can't figure out how to change it.  If
I change its style to default and then back to clause it doesn't have
any numbers.  In fact the only way I can get a number is to manually
give it a style of numbering1, and then it only seems to have one level
of digit and all the indentation is wrong.  Whatever I do, I can't
figure out how to get a second level of numbering.

I clearly have concepts completely mixed up here (probably from my use
of MS Word:-() can someone help me out please.
