------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Nov 1 11:06:40 +0000 2008 ------- I made a comment on this back in 2005, and since then it seems that counters have been added, but I also wish to add that Outline Numbering is not the only problem. I have recently been battling with lists and sub-lists and see the same confusion and duplicated behaviours that we used to have with headings -- resulting in lists that disappear, reapper, get numbered badly etc. For the most part this is not OOs fault, it is the natural result of copying a UI from a really badly designed work processor (Word). Building on what is already in OO, it would be great to see the following: - extend 'Number Range' fields to have an optional parent 'Number Range'. Incrementing the parent would reset the child. - extend paragraph styles to include a 'Numbering Field' for numbering that behaves like 'Outline Numbering' does now (perhaps a checkbox for 'Include in Outline'). Allow me to specify the field to use (obviosly). Allow me to apply a numbering format to this number from within the paragrap style. For extra marks, disallow me from deleting this number without manually changing the paragraph style. With these two features, I will be able to: - create 'List Outer' and 'List Inner' (or List1, List2 etc) paragraph styles that automatically behave as most people would expect. - create a 'Heading2Important' style (based on 'Heading2') which behaves *excaly* like 'heading2', including sharing the same numbering levels etc, *and* which appears in the outline at the same level as 'heading2', but which has different paragraph formatting (eg. red, bold, boxed or whatever). - create a 'Chapter' format that actually works as one would expect 'above' heading1. No idea how much work this all involves, but it seems that with 3.0 we are close. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
