Re: [libreoffice-users] LO text

Well, I think there's always some kind of formatting enabled, you can't 
kill styles.

But - if I understood right you are trying to have some lines (those 
five items) numbered but after hitting enter you wont to write normally 
until that second item, right? Then you wont a number again, is that right?

I done it by hitting F11, docking the new window by dragging it to the 
left, going to Paragraph style (first icon) and right clicking to a 
Default style then choosing Modify. Next you should go to Indents & 
Spacing tab and remove tick from Automatic.

Then click OK. Again right click on Default style and now choose New. 
Name the style, go to Outline & Numbering tab and from Numbering style 
drop-down menu choose Numbering 1. Go to Organizer tab and for Next 
style choose Text body.

When you need to number a paragraph you choose newly made style, you 
write what you wont and when you click enter it will make new paragraph 
Text body so it will look just like newly defined but without numbers.

When you would like to have numbers again - just double click newly 
defined style.

That's the way I'm doing it because I like to have paragraphs instead 
hitting shift + enter. So, all you need is two styles...

A hope I understood right what you are trying to achieve.
