I believe I originally posted the original problem. Linking alternative heading styles to Heading 1, 2 etc partially works. You can set the numbering styles to do what you want. The problem is that when you do this it creates two numbering levels for no rational reason. When using the standard headings the status bar show Outline level 1,2, 3 correctly When you create a custom numbering then the level shown in the status bar shows two levels Appendix Level 1 : outline 2 when using with a style linked to Heading 2. The Appendix 2 is set to Outline Level 2 in the Style but this is being ignored when it is appled. You can manually use the Tab key to increment the Level. This a workaround but it has to be applied to each use of the alternatively numbered paragraphs. The style can be cloned using the brush control. This is a bug. There is no justification for the behaviour. the style SHOULD set the outline level. I have no idea why there should be two levels shown on the status bar. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n3661825/lo-bug.jpg -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Numbering-Headings-Addendums-tp3642687p3661825.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
