Re: [libreoffice-users] Numbering Equations

It's possible to do what you're trying to do without the F3 key. Go to 
the Edit menu and select AutoText. You should see a list of 
categories. Expand the one called Standard. If you scroll down the 
resulting list, you should see the entry 'Formula Numbering'. Select 
it and then click on the Insert button. Your equation should appear.

Does this work for you?
