If it doesn't work for us, there is something wrong with your version and installation. Never heard problems on this level before, however, but one never knows. In that case, pls inform us about version, operating system, etc.


Using OO 2.3 on Ubuntu.

I gave up on numbering with OO a long time ago because I have never been abble to understand how it was supposed to work. Or, perhaps because I used M$Word extensively in my corporate employment, OO doesn't do it as intuitively as I would like.

But today I had to finish a document that required numbering and I only had OO at hand. Hence my panicked state & frustration.

Anyway, I managed to complete the document by "borrowing" a copy of M$Word.

I'll have another look OO, but what I don't understand is;

Why am I allowed to modify, say, styles Heading1..Headingn, assign a numbering style to them, only to have it do absolutely nothing or, worse still, plonk the same number at the beginning of each successive heading. What I usually get is

1 - Heading 1
        1.1 Sub Heading 1.1
        1.1 Sub Heading should be numbered first sub heading + 1
        1.1 Sub Heading should be numbered first sub heading + 2
1 - Heading should be numbered first heading + 1

and so on. Manually numbering each section is tedious and inserting or deleting headings and sub headings really messes things up.

I have the same issue on a Win based PC with OO, so I don't think it's installation related.

Probably more a problem between the back of my seat and the keyboard.

Pierre
