I have not found a good work around for this bug and I am hoping to finish a critical project to help out with the COVID-19 situation, so if there is a known work around it would be greatly appreciated.
This is not a bug. The proper and intended way is to use chapter (outline) numbering - see Chapter Numbering in Tools menu. It associates chapter headings styles with numbering, and also with the numbering levels (which is impossible when you associate paragraph styles with normal numbering). FTR, the topic in help: https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/swriter/guide/chapter_numbering.html Thanks Mike for the pointer. However, the behavior is still less than ideal as the "Update Style" button was also used. More importantly, thanks to your help, I was able to find a mechanism to get the numbering to work properly!!! :-) (In reply to Manuel Muro from comment #4) > Thanks Mike for the pointer.

Can't understand what was meant, and how "the "Update Style" button was also used" leads to "the behavior is still less than ideal". Do you mean that "as I used that button, XXX should had happen, but YYY had happened in fact, so it's bad"? or what? When I selected an individual paragraph, using a "Heading2" as an example, and launched the paragraph property to set the "Numbering" style to "1.1.1.1" for this heading type and even set the numbering levels to be shown to 2, with the same single paragraph selected, next to the Style drop down list, I use the button titled "Update Style (Shift+Ctrl+F11)", I was expecting that the numbering for ALL current and FUTURE "Heading2" paragraphs would use this new numbering style selected. I hope this make sense. But as long as there is a method that works, I am SUPER happy, as my backup option would have been to manually number the paragraphs! This is my first real project make a heavy duty use of LibreWriter, so I am just treating this as part of my learning curve! |
