Hi.
I am not sure this is what I was after.
If I create a list, initially everything is on level one.
I would like it so that if I demote an item to level 2 the style is
automatically changed to the style defined for level 2. When I tried your
suggestion I had to manually apply the List 2 style to the paragraph.
Steve
I'm coming late into this discussion, but if I understand what you want to
do,
you need to create a List style with two or more levels.
Press F11 to open the Styles and Formatting window in the sidebar, then
select
the List Styles button and create or modify a list style with several
levels
using the Options tab. For each level, you will want a different numbering
system.
When you go to apply the style, press the Tab key to use the level below
your
present one at the cursor position, or Shift+Tab to use the level above
your
current one.
Hi. Partly correct. I want to create lists with more than one level (2-3
generally) and have the paragraph style of the text change to a
predefined style as I demote or promote the level of a paragraph. I.e. a
different paragraph style is associated with each level.
steve
Hi Steve,
Did you read my answer to your question? I think that solves it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Paragraph styles in lists
Now I understand what you want. A paragraph style applies the same formatting to the whole paragraph. A character style can be used within the paragraph, but this must be manually applied to the selected characters. What you want to do is not possible unless perhaps a macro is used. What you can do is to select a special character as the number at the beginning of the element when the level is 2.

You would then use the paragraph styles List 1, List 2, etc. or Numbering 1, Numbering 2 etc. for numbered lists. You can adapt these or make your own similar paragraph styles. Create a new paragraph style for example Nested List, make it a conditional style, and couple the Numbering levels to Numbering 1, Numbering 2, or List 1, List 2, etc. -- Piet van Oostrum p...@vanoostrum.org WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
