After reading Laurent Duperval's email about this subject, I did a
little more research. I also have a laptop with a Win 98SE partition with
OOo 2.0.2 on it. When I created a new text document the same way: created
8 short lines and applied the same headings as above.
The first heading 2 has a number 1 in front of it, but so did the
second heading 2. Not only that, but there was a difference in indentation
between the two. The first one was not indented, and the second one was.
When I modified the "Numbering 1" style in the List category, I was able
to remove the indentation of the second heading 2 line.
Someone should file an issue about this.
