Yes - I will have to explore workarounds. I have not looked at Table of Contents yet but am adept with MS Word and LO usually does similar things. I do not foresee a problem there (but then I did not see a problem with Headings, it seemed so intuitive ) The Headings issue is the only case I have found so far where something that is relatively easy to do in MS Word seems to be very well designed in LO but not correctly implemented. I cannot envisage any situation where the Outline Level, as defined in the Style ,should not be used. Why should it always enforce Level 1 whatever you put in the Outline Level? What I want to do is have a style like Document title (no number) 1. Heading 1 1.1. Heading 2 1.1.1 Heading 3 for the main body of the document and Appendix A appendix title A.1 appendix Hdg 1 A.1.1 Appendix Hdg 2 A.1.1.1 Appendix Hdg 3 For appendices - this should be simple. I might also want a difference heading style for the legal preamble at the front. I have done all this many times in Word. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Headings-with-custom-list-not-working-tp3501140p3503476.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
