Thanks Suzanne. But what I need to know is how (the steps involved in) to make OOo make my document number the titles in the following manner: Each chapter has 4 levels of titles; first, chapter title (for example 2) but the number here should not appear second level (2.1 2.2 2.3 ...etc) third level (2.1.1 2.1.2 ....) fouth (2.1.1.1 .....) I am now typing these numbers manually but I know that OOo has a way to auto number the titles. I just dont know how to do that. Normally (in much smaller lists) I select the required lines and press the (Numbering On/Off) button, then using Format>Bullets and Numbering>layout I usually get the needed result. But in this long document (I'm working on now) I wasnt successful.
