For example, suppose in a hierarchical document (e.g. one of those
horrible army-style 8.13.12.29 arrangements) wherein each heading is
indented relative to the indent of the next-higher-level heading.
You mean what, in another word processor, might be called an "outline
style"? For whatever reason, in OO/Writer it's not called a style, but you
set it up the same way under Tools|Outline Numbering. While not completely
extensible, it goes up to 10 levels, which should be enough for most
purposes. Unfortunately, AFAICS, you can only define one outline style (of
10 levels), but that's enough for most documents - and maybe someone who
knows OO better can say how to extend this.
... suppose I define a pair of paragraph styles for questions and
answers. These have hanging indents ... Now I want to have a group of
questions and answers somewhere under a level-three heading, amidst
level-three text. The Q&A lines are still flush with the left margin.
It would/will be a real pain in the neck to have to design 5 versions of
every paragraph style. Is there a way around this?
Sorry to be dense: You mean to put a Q&A at any of 5 levels? If you use the
Outline feature, could you do something like assigning <Q>s to the
odd-numbered levels and <A>s to even-numbered levels? [My apologies if I
have misunderstood the problem.]
