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. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk Open Source.
