Open office Question

[Trv]

i just downloaded open office and I have a question. How do you format an outline system (which i did) then use it. i cant find out how to follow my custom outline.

Thanks

So youwant to have something like this?

Code: Select all

1. types of cheeses
        a. gouda
        b. meunster
        c. swiss
        d. parmesan
2. types of deli meats
        a. ham-based
                I. bologna
               II. sausage
        b. blade meat
        c. roast beef
etc...

Just turn on numbering, and when you press TAB it will go into the next tier of the outline. I believe there's also buttons that increase and decrease indentation, you can use those. I'm pretty sure you don't need to set specific types of numbering to do an outline in OpenOffice.

i did that.. I just cant find where i can select the outline I made and use that. It forces me to use an outline that I dont want

Edit : I figured it out
