I need to format my paragraph numbers so that they have a fixed number of 
digits and display any leading zeros.

Open Office Writer allows you to format numbers in cells of tables so that, 
for example, you can display leading zeros, but there appears to be no way to 
do the same thing for paragraph numbers and outline numbers that are 
generated by the paragraph numbering and outline features.

This is a significant problem where official documents require such 
formatting. For example, the US Patent Office asks that the paragraphs of the 
specifications of patent applications be numbered sequentially in the format 
[0001],[0002]....

I have spent a couple of hours playing with the program, and searching the 
help files and the internet, but to no avail.

Has anyone found a solution?
