Re: [libreoffice-users] captions and headings
Hi :) I am not sure if documentation can help with this but here is a link just in case; https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications There is also an Faq but again i am not sure if your topic is covered in enough detail for you https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq Regards from Tom :) On 8 January 2015 at 09:40, Gary Collins gcatl...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Thanks for your reply, Karl, it was useful.

Select format Arabic and level 1. For all the following figures you just choose Figure under Selection.
