Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 25209
Numbering style not applying through paragraph style
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
In the attached document, all the paragraphs have the text body style. The text body style has the numbering 1 style for numbering. However, when I select the numbering tab in the style dialog, I do not see the numbering 1 style highlighted. This indicates that though the paragraph style has been associated with the numbering style, the numbering style is not being applied to the text. Once consequence of this is that though I am defining the outline numbering format by modifying the Numbering 1 style, the outline numbering is not applying to the text. The document was created using StarOffice 7.

Hi, There is an additional hard numbering perhaps via symbol or automatic, I guess. Delete that, and the numbering via paragraph-style will appear.

The numbering in the document was not created by hard-numbering, it was created by applying numbering styles. To fix the numbering, keep the cursor before the first character on the first line (Spreadsheet exercises on signals) and press backspace. This takes away numbering. Press backspace again. This converts the paragraph formatting to Default. Then use the style painter to apply text body formatting on the first line. This applies numbering. Now, do backspace on each line to bring it to the previous line and press enter. This applies the numbering style as desired. This clearly needs improvement. For example, applying the default stule to any other paragraph does not fix the problem. However, I found a bug in the numbering as well, which is seen in the line 2.1 Data network design case in the document TOC_2.sxw. This line should actually have been numbered 2.4, and if you do some backspaces and returns, it does become 2.4. But I am wondering why it gets the numbering 2.1 at all?

reassigend to jw i think this is a duplicate, but if i remeber right i had to close the origin because i did not get an anwer on my question how to reproduce, because i could like here see the bug but was not able to create a document with that behaviour i will take a look on this tomorrow
just looked at the document, yes i was right this is the same problem. in the stylist the text body style has the numbering1 style set but if i look at the paragraph the style ist not set to this text. i have to set this manualy. if i enter the paragraph dioalog format -> paraghraph and look on the nubering tab i see a BLANK entry in the dropdownfield. this is an error it must be none ore numbering 1. an again, i need a step by step advice on how you created this document, because i can not reproduce creating such an error if i created it by my own. i will search for the other document and set this as double to the other.
