o Click just above your first column to select it. Alternatively, 
right-click in the column and go to Column > | Select.

o Open the Styles and Formatting window.
o Click the List Styles button at the top.
o Double-click one of the Numbering styles. (Try each to see which 
meets your needs.)
o If you don't want the trailing tab or full stop or whatever, 
right-click on the style name in the Styles and Formatting window and 
select Modify... . Use the Position and Options tabs to adjust the 
style to what you need.


You will notice that if you insert extra rows the numbering will 
adjust itself automatically - as you ask.


You say you want additional information in that first column - which 
you can indeed add. Alternatively, it may be easier to put this is an 
additional column.


I trust this helps.

Base is, and will continue to be supported.

The embedded database engine is in the process of changing from HSQLdb
to FireBird. This change has caused some users to be confused, and think
that the Base component is going away.

Spend some time thinking about which database engine you want to use.

Base can be used both as a database front end, or as combined front
end/database engine.

I don't know Base well enough to answer the rest of your questions. :(

Hi...




I don't know if this it's possible... because I'm not expert in Writer, but, if 
only it's possible with macros, I can help you, I like this idea.

I tried insert a formula (=LAST_ROW+1) in each row, but, if I insert new rows, 
this values not update automatically




Best regards

[libreoffice-users] Automated table row numbering in Writer?

[Eddie]

I am making tables in LibreWriter. The structure is one short column
with a couple of numbers, followed by one long column with information
that I type in. The individual rows are eventually cut out and put into stamp 
albums.

 I've looked around for a "table row" field and I can't find one. One
 of the numbers in the first column is sequential and will serve as a
 page number after I stick that row into the album. It would be
 wonderful if I could insert a field and have the rows number
 themselves - especially for those times I go back and discover that I
 left something out 50 rows before.

If there is a way of doing that...is there then a way of assigning a
specific number to the first instance and letting it increment from
there?

I could almost certainly do this in Calc, but Calc lacks a few
formatting niceties, and I'd prefer to keep it in Writer if I can.

Thanks!

[libreoffice-users] Re: Showing two sheets of the same spreadsheet

[lismurn]

I was hoping that by clicking on a specific cell in plots, eg plot only
that plot would appear in the bottom window, Burials.

[libreoffice-users] Libreoffice Base

[lismurn]

1.  Is Base being supported or is it dead in the water. I have read some
comments in the forums and wonder.
I am trying to assemble a small database but wonder should I continue if it
is not being supported.
I actually enjoy working with Base and only wish I was more computer
literate.

2. In my database forms I have two layouts, in one both the main form and
sub form use the third layout like a spreadsheet.  In the second form the
main form uses the second layout and the sub form the third layout.
One of the cells is for notes which can be up to approx 500 letters.
In the second form I can see all the notes in this particular cell but in
the first form, spreadsheet, I can only see one line. I have multiline on
and by using the up and down arrow keys I can see all the text albeit one
line at a time.
What do I need to do to be able to see all text at once
