Alan, I think that the numbering/outlining implementation of OOo is unnecessarily complicated and rather unintuitive! Some months ago, I initiated a thread in this list about this same subject (follow the thread on http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgId=2047526; see below my original message). Unfortunately, most of the readers just read it; and a couple of users tried to convince me (without success) that it was justified to have a separation between numbering and paragraph formatting (stylewise or not). Even if the interfered with each other!!! :-|
José --<8------------------------- [users] List/numbering formatting and styles: why are they separated from paragraph formatting and styles? Data: 2005-06-16 21:34 De: "J. Magalhães Cruz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (DEEC-FEUP) Para: [email protected] Hello all! I have always found quite difficult to fully control with ease the usage of list anf numbering of paragraphs, both by direct formatting and by using styles. Before raising an issue in Issuezilla, I would like to ask anyone the following question: "Why are list/numbering formatting and styles separated from paragraph formatting and styles?" Thanks all José ---<8------------------------ Dizia Alan Chandler em Segunda 21 Novembro 2005 15:46: > Guido Pinkernell writes: > > Am Montag, 21.
