I believe once you've set them up as you want these modified styles need to be saved to the default document template (which is referred to every time a new document is created) or they need to be saved as a new template which is: a) set as the default template or b) selected as the template to use with your new document when you start working on it I don't use outlining very frequently and when I do it is generally very basic with just one or two levels. For more extensive help with this you might wish to refer to the OOo Writer Guide<http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/0200WG-WriterGuide.pdf>. It describes outline numbering beginning on page 205. It continues through pg 216 explaining a heading hierarchy and working with numbering/list styles. There is also a section describing list numbering styles starting on page 180 and continuing through 185. Also, when I don't want to use outlines, I can't seem to get it shut off.

According to the > Getting Started Guide<http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/0100GS-GettingStarted.pdf>, pg. 86, autoformatting is applied to the "Default," "Text body" and "Text body indent" styles. Autoformatting can be turned on or off by checking or unchecking the option on the "Format>Autoformat>While typing" menu item.
