Writer, ouline numbered list
I am having problems with formatting an outline numbered list. What I would like to have is a list where the number of the item is on the same horizontal position av the text of the level above. About like this:
1 Text
1.1 Text
1.1.1 Text
2 Text
2.1 Text
It seems that I am able to adjust levels 1 and 2 the way I want, but further adjustment of sublevels is impossible. Any suggestions? I am using OpenOffice 4.0.1 on a Mac.

Hi Andrew,
Yesterday the 'hang' situation occurred once again.
Your suggestion of using the Task Manager to kill soffice worked well.
However there does seem to be a problem with OO not releasing memory, on
closedown ?
Thereupon all other instantiations of OO hang at Close time until Windows 8
will not start a new copy of the program.
In this most recent case, the OO copy with most memory was selected for Task
Manager to kill.
All other copies of 'hanging' OO now finished and disappeared from the Task
Manager's view.
Best wishes,
Iain Watson

I am glad that things seem to be working fine now. In the future, if OO
seems to hang, jump to the task manager and kill the soffice process
and/or tasks. I have certainly seen it (on Windows and Linux) hang with
nothing displayed. When that happens, a new instance will not properly
start until the existing processes are killed. I don't see this often,
and I don't even remember what I last saw it.

Yeah sorry to have not been more explicit.
Double click on either Word or Excel type documents do not open (when the
reported situation occurs)
Trying to double click on the OO short-cut creates a think for half a minute
then nothing.
Version of OO is 4.0.0, under Window 8.
Thank you for your advice.
Cannot report as, naturally, OO is doing fine right now.
Many thanks for the Task Manager approach suggestion.

I assume you are using windows of some sort.
Can you be more specific? I am uncertain exactly what you did and then
what happened when you did it.
(1) Do you mean that you use Windows Explorer to find a WORD document
and then you double click on the WORD document and OO does not open?
(2) Do you mean that you use File > Open, select a Word document?
(3) What if OO is already open and editing a document when you try (1)

If OO has failed in some way, try this to start:
Open the task manager (I think you use Control+Alt+Del and then select
open the task manager).
I think that from the process list (is that what it is called, I am not

If OO is running, make sure that you have saved all documents first,

Open Office does not initialise
Posted by Iain <ia...@hotmail.com>.
Hi,
Just a small problem.
At perceived random times, OO refuses to initialise, either when requested
to read Word or Excel type documents.
Whenever this occurs a reboot of the Windows machine is required to fix the
problem.
Are there more succinct ways around this situation?
Many thanks,
Iain Watson

Don't unindent. Use Backspace to cancel the bulleting.

Actually, this works for me. Press Enter to start a new paragraph
where you want the bulleted list. Your new paragraph will
(temporarily) be numbered "4." (and paragraph 4 "5."). Providing
your new paragraph is empty, pasting in the bulleted list should put
everything back to normal at a stroke.

There is no need to start a new document, of course! But this is
indeed probably the easiest way to achieve what you want: to enter
the bulleted items at first without changing the numbering - so that
they are numbered as paragraphs four and five. Later, after you have
started your real paragraph four - which will appear at first as
paragraph "6." - go back and select the items to be bulleted, and
change the style to bulleted. Paragraph 6. will be instantly
renumbered as "4.", as you need.
>Sometimes when I undent [isn't that the reverse of indent??] ...
Probably "unindent" - as you had it at first.
>... a bullet, it ends up outside the left margin.
Well, it will! Instead of using the Decrease Indent button, adjust
indenting on the Position tab of the Bullets and Numbering dialogue.
>Arrrrrggggghhh!
I trust I've been able to remove a few consonants from your frustration.

Re: Writer, ouline numbered list
Posted by Julian Thomas <jt...@jt-mj.net>.
I am still having major issues with lists
If I start a numbered list and enter items:
1. xxx
2. yyy
3. zzz
and then want to put some bulleted items in:
* aa
* bb
That all works OK.
But then I unindent and change to numbers, and the next item is again:
1.
It's a ROYAL PITA to try to get this back under control.
If I go back to 3.zzz and enter, I get
4.
but if I then try to paste the
* aa
* bb
under 3.zzz it's a mess. The easiest way I've found to get out of this mess is to start a new document, put in all the top level stuff, and then insert the bulleted items - as UNFORMATTED text and rebulletize them.
Sometimes when I undent [isn't that the reverse of indent??] a bullet, it ends up outside the left margin.
Arrrrrggggghhh!

Yes, this worked, something that did not when the default distances was set
to points. When I changed that to centimeters, everything worked fine.
Thanks!

Dear Malcolm Doughty
The solution is simple. If you want to unsubscribe from the list, follow the instructions at the bottom of this and any other mail from the list.
Besides, using capital letters in mails is generally regarded as being rude.
Have a nice day!

i followed this procedure:
1 go to format -> styles and formatting -> list styles -> right click -> new -> position
2 select level 1
a numbering followed by tab stop at, e.g., 1cm
b numbering alignment left
c aligned at, e.g., 0cm
d indent at, e.g. 1cm
3 select level 2
a numbering followed by tab stop at, e.g., 2
b numbering alignment left
c aligned at the same as 2d, i.e. 1cm
d indent at, e.g., 2cm
4 and so on
the point is to set 'aligned at' of the i-th level to the same value as 'indent at' (and 'numbering followed by tab stop at') of the (i-1)-th level. everything works fine.
a sample file is attached, and i hope the attachment won't be filtered out.
