3) In the Level list, choose 3. In the Number list, choose 1, 2, 3, .... The Show sublevels list should show 3 (if not, choose 3). The result is shown in Figure 219. Figure 219: Specifying numbering of Level 3 headings These choices produce the layout shown in Figure 220. Figure 220: Results of numbering choices for headings Setting up the indentation of headings Whether or not the headings are numbered, you may want to change some of their formatting. For example, you may want the second-level and third-level headings to be indented from the margin. For numbered headings, you may also want the second line of long headings to line up with the first word of the heading, not the number. For these changes, use the Position page of the Outline Numbering dialog box. Note The Position page for documents created in LibreOffice is slightly different from the Position page for documents created in earlier versions of similar programs that are opened in LibreOffice. This difference is provided for backwards compatibility. For more information, refer to “Position page for older documents opened in LibreOffice” (under “Creating a new list style”) in Chapter 7, Working with Styles. 200 LibreOffice 3.6 Writer Guide
Positioning in new LibreOffice documents Figure 221 shows the Position page as it appears for documents created in LibreOffice. Figure 221: Setting up the position of level 1 headings 1) In the Level list on the left, choose 2. Change the values for Numbering followed by... at and Aligned at, as shown in Figure 222. You may want to use a different value. This indents the entire heading but does not affect the way long headings wrap around (see Figure 223). Figure 222: Indenting Level 2 headings Figure 223: Result of changes to indentation of Level 2 headings 2) To change the wrapping behavior of long headings, change Indent at to a larger value, as shown in Figure 224. The result is shown in Figure 225. Chapter 6 Introduction to Styles 201
