Hi :)
Sorry! I couldn't find the section in the guides but you might find this
helpful
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Writer_Guide
on a side issue you might find Chapter 12 interesting Creating Tables of
Contents, Indexes, and Bibliographies. There is a plug-in/add-on/Extension
that might help with that, i think Zotero?

How rigid is the template?
Can you create a fresh new Odt document in LibreOffice and follow the
guidelines of the template without having to copypaste anything from their
template into your new document? If there are bits you need to copy can you
use paste-special to paste as unformatted text?
Ctrl Shift v
rather than just
Ctrl v
A fresh start means you neatly avoid getting stuck with lots of legacy
formatting codes that might spring surprises on you randomly in the future. It
gives you more control over what you do.
If it is rigid and you can't just start afresh then it might be worth asking
the University if they could give you an OpenDocument Format (ODF, specifically
Odt) version rather than the proprietary one. If not then perhaps be insolent
and ask them to buy and give you the product, that is made by a foreign
company, in order to be able to use their template. Perhaps push further and
ask them to supply it in a non-American 'local' language.
Errr, i am guessing you are outside of the USA because most of the world is.
Also i assumed that your native language is not English (US) because, again,
most of the world speaks other languages as their 1st language, even inside the
US.
Also note that ODF is an ISO standard. ISO meaning it is agreed by an
international agency made from people of many different nationalities. While
DocX also has a version that is an ISO standard that is not the one implemented
in any version of MS Office so far because they all tweak it some different way
that is non-compliant with the standards.
Point out that you already have the necessary tools for the job but the only
reason you would have to buy product from a foreign company is to complete this
1 task, the thesis. The tools you already have do everything else better.

Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Customizing Number Format of each level in
Writer-Tools-Outline Numbering
Hello, I need help with LibreOffice Writer - Tools - Outline Numbering.
As long as I know Tools - Outline Numbering in LibreOffice Writer is
somehow equivalent to defining new Multilevel list in MS Office Word 2010.
But I need some features in formatting of each level in Outline
Numbering, which is not available in LibreOffice Writer but is available
in MS Word - Multilevel list. I need some more professional formatting
of each level because I'm writing my thesis based on a template provided
by my university and I have to obey that template. In that template
(which is a .doc file) format of each level is defined in a particular
way that can be shown correctly in MS Word, but not in LibreOffice.
I need to be able to customize Number format of each level similar to MS
Word like what you can see here:

If someone is professional in this issue please help me.
