Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer
Headings and Numbering
Most text documents benefit from use of headings and numbering. Writer provides automatic
functions that help the user manage the structure and formatting of documents via headings
and numbering.
Numbering and Numbering Styles
Numbering in a document may be applied either as direct formatting or by using a Style, in
the same manner as is done with other paragraph attributes such as “Justified” or “Line
Spacing”. The icons on the numbering object bar and the options in the Format > Bullets
and Numbering dialogue apply direct formatting. Direct formatting is also applied when
automatic numbering is used via the AutoFormat/AutoCorrect function.
Note:The AutoNumbering of AutoCorrect is not applied to the Styles listed in the Styles and Formatting window
under “
Special St yle
s”.
A Numbering Style can be applied as part of certain Paragraph Styles or applied directly to
the paragraphs. With the former case, one can take advantage of the paragraph formatting
system for numbering as well. Changing a Numbering Style ensures that all numbering
created with this Style will be automatically reformatted. Numbering Styles are described in
the OpenOffice.org Help.
Turning Bullets On and Off
Bullets may be turned on an off in a document. The following is one method to turn a
bulleted list on and off:
1. Place the cursor in a paragraph to be marked with a bullet symbol, or select a number of
paragraphs.
2. Click on the Bullets on/off icon on the Text Object Bar. The paragraph or paragraphs
will be formatted as a bulleted list.
3. In an existing bulleted list, if one clicks the Bullets on/off icon, the paragraphs will turn
back into normal text.
4. In a bulleted list, clicking on the icon at the far right of the object bar changes the Text
Object Bar to the Numbering Object Bar which contains icons for moving and rearranging
numbered paragraphs. By opening the context menu on the object bar, users can also
select which bar to display.
