Thank you Barbara. I have no toolbars, so I did not even think to start looking for icons. Enabling the Formatting toolbar showed the Lists icons, which of course made the task simple.

I feared that the solution may involve a regex... I'm happy to know that I can get by without a regex but it's good to know that OOo is powerful enough to understand them when they are needed. > This one is like the simpler version above: select the whole list, then > click the numbered list icon in the toolbar.

Next time I will search the common toolbars before bugging with silly questions. Thanks.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
