Figure 219: 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.
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.
Positioning in new LibreOffice documents
Figure 220 shows the Position page as it appears for documents created in LibreOffice.
Figure 220: 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 221. 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 222).
