[libreoffice-users] Re: Customizing Number Format of each level in "Writer->Tools->Outline Numbering"

Ok Tom,
It's the partially translated template, I was speaking about.
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4067241/iust_translated_english_template_for_thesis_final_%28nazanin%29_writable.doc

Because of lack of time I only translated Chapter 1 and Chpater 2. I
also translated the used paragraph styles and put '_' in front of those
translated paragraph styles. (e.g. _Chpater, _Fig_Caption, etc.).
Some digits are still in Farsi. (۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹۰=1234567890)

As I described in the translated Chapter 2, the Numberings are
incorrect. You can see the incorrect numberings plus the expected
correct numberings above each Fig, Table or Formula.

The main reason for numberings being incorrect is
Tools->Outline_Numbering not being flexible enough.
If Tools->Outline_Numbering in LO Writer was as flexible as Multilevel
List Numberings of MS Word (as you can see in
http://cybertext.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/word-2007-taming-multilevel-list-numbering/)
this problem could be fixed.

After seeing this document if you still has any question about the
reason of this incorrect numberings in LO Writer, don't hesitate to ask.
Likewise, if you have any idea or possible solution I'll be more than
glad to know.

Best,
Sina Momken
