Sigh. This is hardly what I would call a tutorial. I am not [yet] competent to improve this since I am struggling mightily to get the basics of list style formatting. Thanks. When this is brought up to snuff, it should help with these issues that desperately need to be un-arcaned [if I may coin a word]. What I want to be able to do is a list like this: 1. blah 2. blech * blech2 3. Ugh and then be able to go back to 1 and insert a bullet underneath it, or enter a bulleted item under 3 * Ugga and then be able to go back and enter 4. Yuck OO does not deal well with this; I find that if I don't do 4. Yuck before I do 3. * ugga, the numbering and alignment is all messed up. Try it - you won't like it! jt ------------------------------------------- List Conduct Guidelines: http://openoffice.apache.org/list-conduct.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
