Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 23437
wrong sequence with nested numbered lists
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
I'd like to have a OOo text document with nested numbered lists, like in the following example: -------------------------------------------------------- 1. First item. 2. Second item. 1. First subitem of second item. 2. Second subitem of second item. 3. Third subitem of second item. 3. Third item. 4. Fourth item. -------------------------------------------------------- I managed to do this, but, after I saved, closed, and re-opened the document, the list looks like that: -------------------------------------------------------- 1. First item. 2. Second item. 1. First subitem of second item. 2. Second subitem of second item. 3. Third subitem of second item. 1. Third item. 2. Fourth item. -------------------------------------------------------- Any help would be appreciated. Kindest regards, Tobias Besch, Germany
Works for me on Windows 2000. -I typed in your eight items (I actually used four subitems on #2), one on each line. -Highlighted all eight lines. -Clicked "Numbering On/Off" on the toolbar so the items were labelled 1 through 8. 1.First item. 2.Second item. 3.Subitem 1 of 2. 4.Subitem 2 of 2. 5.Subitem 3 of 2. 6.Subitem 4 of 2. 7.Third item. 8.Fourth item. -Highlighted only the four subitems of #2. -Clicked "Move Down with Subpoints" on the toolbar so #2 now had subpoints 1 through 4. Items three and four now changed from #7 and #8 to #3 and #4, respectively. 1.First item. 2.Second item. 1.Subitem 1 of 2. 2.Subitem 2 of 2. 3.Subitem 3 of 2. 4.Subitem 4 of 2. 3.Third item. 4.Fourth item. -Saved document, closed OOo, reopened document, numbering was intact.
Thank you andysp. What you described works fine for me, too. My problem is different. That was not obvious by my first post. I need to describe it in more detail: 1. Fist item. 2. Second item. 1. Subitem 1 of 2. 2. Subitem 2 of 2. Coninue second item. 3. Third item. 4. Fourth item. The diffence is, that I need to embed the sublist within item two. I. e. I need to coninue item to after the last item of the sublist before I start item three. What I did, was changing the number of number of item three manualy from 1 to 3. After closing and re-opening the document item 3 gets displayed as item 1. But the properties of that item still show my manually changed number (3). So it's just a display error.
reassigend to jw i will have a look on this issue
can you please attach a bugdoc the error occurs in? would made it easier to reproduce the error
Created attachment 12363 [details] a bugdoc the error occurs in
first it would be nice to see how your created the paragraph before the 3rd sub numbering. workaround: i just deleted the paragraph by typing backspace then typed enter and then turned the bullet for this paragraph of (by clicking on the icon in the object bar). saved the file reopend it -> everything looks fine. i loaded the original bugdoc and looked at the paragraph style of the line with the "continue item 2" frase. this paragraph has no numbering style! i set this to none an voila the after saving an reloading the document it also looks fine. this are two workarrounds :) hope this helps. the question is, why does the specific paragraph not have any numberingstyle set? please can you give me a stepp by step advice how you created this line?
if i do not read any further comments from the issue reporter i will close this feb 27 2004
*** Issue 25209 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
confirmed and reassigned to os set target OOo 2.0
.
A look into the file reveals that there are serveral distinct lists. The rendering of the file is perfectly ok. Seems like the known usability problem already addressed for OOo 2.0 => Works for me.
reopen for propagation
works for me
I can see from the file that there's something odd. But I am not able to create such a file, which works wrong, from the scratch. Thus, we need a detaile step-by-step description, how to build such a numbering structure, which is wrong when re-opening such a file. Feel free to re-open the issue, when such a description can be provided. Thanks for supporting us!
