Libre Write: Header style does not contain numbering (Outline)

Hi there,
I am having a problem writing my thesis in LibreOffice:

  • I use different documents for different chapters, and in all documents, I want to use the same template
  • I made a “mythesis.ott” template to use as template

So far, no problem, but when I change the “mythesis.ott” template such that the headers include Numbering (Outline), it is not included into the template. I use a “mytest.ott” template to test all this, and I can update/change/load templates in other documents, but only the formatting is changed, not the numbering of headers.

Does anyone know if this is a bug? Or is it just impossible to include Outline numbering in a template?

Hi @ThiemeHennis,

I’m not sure if this is a bug, but as you haven’t found an answer yet, I’m going to suggest that you go ahead and file an enhancement bug.

Please check the latest release of LibreOffice first, just to make sure this hasn’t been fixed in the meantime.

If you do file that bug, please provide as much information about this new feature as possible. Don’t forget to mark your bug as an ‘enhancement’. The QA team will be happy to help you triage your feature request in the bugtracker.

Please post a link to any bugs you file in a comment below using the format “fdo#123456”.
