No you are not abusing lists / paragraph numbering..

I think you need to set up a paragraph style that you will use for the paragraphs that are numbered.
Place your cursor on of you numbers paragraph.
Choose Format | Styles and Formating
In this box you can see all the predefined paragraph styles.
(and other styles)
There may be one already here that will do what you want,
but there are FAR to many to look though
(in my version there are >100 styles!!!!!
this seems to be rather stupid - how is the user meant to know what they all do?)

I find it best to create a new paragraph style by using the right most icon .
Call it, say, mytitles.
Now right click on it and choose modify.
In the Paragraph Style Properties box, choose the /Numbering\ tab.
and select a numbering style:
Try "Numbering 1"
Then under the /Organizer\ tab
choose "Default" or your usual paragraph style which you want to follow each numbered paragraph.
click [OK]

Now you can just choose "mytitles" from the drop down box on the
for you paragraphs - and they will keep count regardless of what comes in between.

You can of course create you own numbering style, say mynumbers.
I set the levels to have their own style like this:
1. Top level
   a. level 2
       i. level three
by using either a preset setting under /outline\ tab
or (usually) manually using the /options\ tab.

When you have types your numbered paragraph, place the cursor at the start of the line and press TAB to move the paragraph UP one level, and SHIFT TAB to move it back one level.

(This is great for agendas and minutes)

Hello
I'm using OOo 1.9.104. Maybe I'm thinking too much (ht/x)ml'ish, but I was thinking of using a numbered list and blocks of text somehow corresponding to lists positions... I want to achive something like:

1. Some topic (numbered list position, some list style)
  A big block of text (some text style, block "connected with" topic)
2. Next topic...
  text...

What I can't do is to make a separate paragraph after a topic in numbered list, with different style, own first line and other things that you can do with separate paragraph, but without destroying the list numbering and allowing list, to continue after that paragraph, or after N paragraphs. Something like chapters / parts... After adding those longer blocks of text, I'd like the titles to still act like normal numbered list - for example rewriting all numbers when I insert a new 1'st topic.

Am I trying to abuse the lists? Maybe there is an easier / more proper way?
Thanks in advance.
