--- Comment #6 from Owen Genat <owen.ge...@gmail.com> --- Sorry I have taken so long to respond. For some reason I did not see the updates provided back in June 2013. Thank you for providing them. The problem appears to be a workflow / method issue stemming from the use of direct formatting and lack of a template. I do not create master documents in the manner described in the attachment to comment #2. The following method works for me and has done since at least v3.5. 1. Start Writer. 2. Tools > Outline Numbering > select Level 1-10; Number 1,2,3; Separator After full stop (.) > click OK. If outline numbering is required against headings, use this facility rather than any sort of list-related styling. 3. Save this document as a template (the method for doing this has changed across versions, but in the v4.x series is currently File > Save as Template...). All documents (master + sub) should be based on this template. 4. Open a new document based on the newly created template. 5. Press ENTER to create a new carriage return (i.e., some content). I am not sure why direct formatting is used to select the Heading style in step #1 of the provided instructions. If this is important the Heading style can be applied if necessary via the Styles and Formatting panel at this point. 6. File > Send > Create Master Document > enter file name and click Save. 7. Open a second new document based on the newly created template. 8. Enter "Heading 1" and assign this text the Heading 1 style; press ENTER; enter "Heading 2" and assign the text the Heading 2 style. There should be two lines of text, the first reading "1. Heading 1" and the second reading "1.1. Heading 2"; save this document as the sub-document. 9. Swap back the master document; in the Navigator select Insert > File > select the sub-document > click Open. 10. Headings are inserted with numbering. That is essentially the method outlined in chapter 13 of the Writer Guide v4.0. Refer in particular "Styles in master documents and subdocuments" (p.366) and "Combining several documents into a master document" (p.368). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
