I do not get the same results with my OOo 2.0.2 (Linux). I opened a
new text document (untitled1). I typed eight short lines with the
following headings: heading 1, heading 2, heading 3, heading 3, heading 2,
heading 3, heading 4, and heading 4. Then I modified heading2 by changing
the numbering style to "Numbering 1". The first heading 2 had a "1." in
front of it, and the second one had "2." in front of it. These were not
there before I modified numbering style. The numbering before this heading
style disappears when the numbering style is returned to "None."
As far as the added indentations are concerned, the style Numbering 1
is causing that. Modify this style in the List group of styles to remove
the additional indentation.
Are you using the OOo 2.0.2 from the OOo website or one provided by
your distro of Linux?
