You mean what, in another word processor, might be called an "outline style"?

Possibly.  I mean, it *is* one form of a style (in the non-word-processor
sense) of writing that follows an outline.


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

Sounds intriguing, and it may be just the ticket.  I'll look into it.


Sorry to be dense: You mean to put a Q&A at any of 5 levels?

Just so.

If you use the Outline feature, could you do something like

Well, in my experience it would look pretty odd that way.
But it's a thought.
