Description reza_prima 2004-12-09 03:56:18 UTC 
I faced requirements to create legal outline numbering for documents, 
including thesis. It has to contain roman numbers for chapters, and use all 
arabic for subchapters. Example: 
I. Chapter 
1.1. subchapter 
1.2. subchapter 
II. Chapter 
2.1. subchapter 
2.2. subchapter 
etc. 
 
MS Word has this feature named Legal Numbering 
This is my main obstacle to replace MS Office with OpenOffice.org
Comment 1 lohmaier 2004-12-10 21:15:46 UTC 
could you please attach a sample doc that contains this numbering?
And could you explain who will need such a numbering?

to make clear what this issue is about:

OOo can only create an outline numbering
I.
I.1.
I.2.

but requested is
I.
1.1.     (first level numbering changed from roman-numerals to arabic numerals)
1.2.

Legal numbering is used by Lawyers and other legal departments workers.

My Documents are in Indonesian languages. But I can state that I am required 
to use that outline numbering style to make my master thesis. I hope this help

I'm a student from Indonesia too. I very often use this number formating in
making my papers and I used MS Word. I'm really awaiting this feature in
OpenOffice.org so that I could completely switch to using OpenOffice.org. Thank
You. I also posted this in the forums:

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
