Description Unknown 2002-10-21 08:40:04 UTC 
Incomplete menu support for OOo's outlining commands makes it impossible for a
new user to browse the menus to learn about the commands and for experienced
users to browse them for keyboard equivalents of the commands. 

Specifically, these two commands do not have keyboard equivalents listed in the
menus:

"Numbering On" (F12)
"Numbering Off" (shift-F12)

And these commands are not listed in the menus at all:

"Move topic up one level" (Tab)
"Move topic down one level" (Shift-Tab)
"Insert a Tab Stop after the Heading"

These problems can be solved by creating an "Outline" sub-menu in the Tools menu
with all the outlining commands and their keystroke equivalents in it. Using the
present set of commands, the sub-menu would contain:

     Outlining On / F12
     Outlining Off / Shift-F12
     Move Heading Up One Level / Tab
     Move Heading Down One Level / Shift-Tab
     Insert Tab Stop after Heading
     
The following menu would be a bit more understandable and easier to work with,
though:

     Start New Outline
     End Outline
     Restart Outline
     Promote Heading / Tab
     Demote Heading / Shift-Tab
     Insert Tab After Heading

I think this must be studied by user experience team

Please try using the latest OpenOffice 1.1 Final , you can download it
from www.openoffice.org
many bug fixes and enhancements since your version and 1.1 Final . If
the problem still happend in 1.1 please report back 
It maybe not yet solve your Issue, but it worth to try.

This Issue seems not to differ between outline numbering and numbered lists.

For both, OOo 1.1.0 provides GUI for simple modifying actions like "Move up
with/without subsections" etc.:

For numbered lists, there's a submenue which automatically opens when a numbered
list is started.
For outline numberings, use the Navigator (F5).

Will close as fixed with OOo 1.1.0.
Please reopen if I had misunderstood your request.
