First, if you want an example, take a look at AndrewMacro.odt

The method that I use, is to use

Heading1, Heading2, Heading3, as the paragraph style for the headings.

Next, you can set "outline numbering" for these headings. I choose to NOT do this, because....

1. I create a style called "chapter numbering", or something like that. I use that style for the regular chapters. 2. I create a style called "Appendix numbering", or something like that. I use that style for the appendix chapters.

I can send you the template that I use for this if you email me directly at "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

I learned this from Jean Hollis Webber. She has a book on OOo Writer, with wonderful techniques. THey are probably also in the documentation from the documentation project.




But I have NEVER been able to master numbering of headings and outlines. Does it work? Is there an understandable guide somewhere?
Start here:

http://documentation.openoffice.org/
I know about Tools > Outline numbering. But numbering always restarts on every new heading. When numbers appear, that is. It seems to be hit and miss.
That seems wrong. What happens if you use Tools | Update ALL?
I try to apply a numbering to a heading style, but it isn't persistent. For example, I get

1- Heading 1
    1.1 Heading 2
    1.1 Heading 2
    1.1 Heading 2
2- Heading 1
    1.1 Heading 2
    1.1 Heading 2
    1.1 Heading 2


Please, someone? Can you point in the right direction, not necessarily towards MS Word?
First, apply Heading1 or Heading 2. Next, apply the numbering style.

Again, take a look at my document, see if it helps.

Cheers

Pierre
