I've used this with paragraph formatting, not outlining. With OOo it seems that the trick to modifying the default format for a document is through the styles menu. Open Format/Styles/Catalog and you will see a pull-down menu of paragraph, character, frame, page & numbering styles. For each of these, then, there are a number of options, default being the one in effect for a new document. You either can then modify the default style, or create & name a new one.
For your problem, I think the solution would be to select Numbering Styles, and then either modify or creat a new numbering style that will be the default for your entire document. Whereas, what you are doing (and I did, as well) is selecting a style for a specific paragraph, which ends with that paragraph. Hope this helps. mike On Tuesday 18 November 2003 10:15 pm, Brett I.
