Writer used to allow this from a slection in Outline
1.0 Head 1
1.1 Head 2
1.2 Head 2
1.2.1 Head 3
2.0 Head 1
Can't find how to do it in 4.1.3.2 Any ideas?
Dave,
Well, I do it using a List style.

Hi 
From the "Format" menu, the icon-toolbar or the F11, Styles, extra menu or
somewhere else?

Yes, got caught again by that damn list problem.
Well, I would say that earlier version of MS Office (i.e. any time up to
2003) had very usable styles, but maybe that is a matter of taste. I had to
do the very thing the original questioner asked about in MS Office 2010 a
couple of weeks ago and it was a lot harder than in LibreOffice. But the
general answer for any modern office suite is to do it with styles.

Hi.
It still does but it seems broke in my 4.1. It is in the selection of outlines but not set (configured) but you can get it back.
In Format>Bullets & Numbering you need to go into Position and adjust the indent and go into Options tab and for each level change the show sublevels. I.E for level 4 it would be show sub levels of 4.
In regards to using styles (F11), Paragraph style Heading one has numbering style Outline numbering. Style Outline numbering doesn't appear in the styles dialogue so it seems the outline can only be changed from Format>Bullets & Numbering when the headings are selected.

How is this done? I have another document that needs this type of
numbering, so I used F11, went to Heading 1, Modify, but could not find
a way to go from "1." to "1.0". Same deal with Heading 2 - how do I
chage the style so it goes from "1." to (for example) "1.1" or "2.1"
etc. I looked at the help section, but it was obviously not helpful
enough (for me).
Thanks!
Dave
Hi
I think you need, from the menus
Format - Bullets&Numbering
? I'm not sure. There is also "Outline Numbering" in Tools but i think
that is something very different. Also once i was in a ToC the F11 styles
seemed to offer choices that i haven't seen elsewhere, so maybe that might
give a clue?
In the Bullets&Numbering there are various tabs that let you configure your
own layouts. One lets you set different layouts for different
layers/levels/whatever.

No.
.... There is also "Outline Numbering" in Tools but i think

Yes, that's the only correct place to achieve what Dave asked.

Hi.
My reply to your first post was

In Format>Bullets & Numbering you need to go into Position and adjust the indent and go into Options tab and for each level change the show sublevels. I.E for level 4 it would be show sub levels of 4.
In regards to using styles (F11), Paragraph style Heading one has numbering style Outline numbering. Style Outline numbering doesn't appear in the styles dialogue so it seems the outline can only be changed from Format>Bullets & Numbering when the headings are selected.
So I Suppose if by 'this' you mean your original question;
Assign style heading 1, heading2, etc. as required.
Click into heading 1 and click the numbering on/off icon. Same for other headings.
In menu go to Format>Bullets & Numbering and
- select the outline you require 1. 1.1 1.1.1 ,etc.
- set the position
- in options, for each level change the show sublevels. I.E for level 4 it would be show sub levels of 4.

Thanks! I got it to work playing with Tools/Outline Numbering. Not the
most intuitive choice (Format/Bullets Numbering would be more likely),
but it works and I'm happy. Thanks again!
Dave,
Not the most intuitive. It would have made more sense to me to put the default outline style used in headings in styles.
