Can I do something like this ?
the first level is roman number,
the second to fourth level use number and all level before it
something like this :
Chapter II
2.1 Sub-chapter
2.1.1 Sub-sub-chapter
2.1.1.1 Sub-sub-sub-chapter
Can’t find a way to change that level. If I use roman in first level, the level below will continue to use roman character
Any sugestion ? or currently libre doesn’t support it ?
Writer does not support that kind of “double identity numbering”, so you need to cheat a bit (see sample file below).
I you set the chapter numbering as “normal” numbers and hide the numbering using a white character style (and a proper numbering alignment) you can then insert a number sequence to simulate the Roman numbering. Editing the TOC to not include the numbers for your chapters, you can get a decent effect. Note that cross referencing will not use the Roman numerals, though.

LibreOffice does not support this. And I know no use case, where this would be a typographic correct style.
That does not mean, that you cannot get it, but you need to fake it. For example you can write the heading with arabic numbers and set the paragraph to ‘hidden’ in the ‘Font Effect’ tab of its style. And then write the chapter heading again using a different style with an explicit numbering in roman numbers. You then need to set the styles, which are used for the TOC, manually in the index dialog.
Or you decide to not show the chapter number in the sub-level headings. You can use the chapter heading including its roman number in the header instead, if you need the information, to which chapter this sub-level belongs.
Regina:
Oftentimes in American legal contracts, the main headers (e.g. Articles) utilize roman numeral with sub-headers (e.g. sections) utilizing Arabic numerals.
Example
Article I – Preamble
1.1 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…
1.2 Id pro idque tincidunt liberavisse…
Article II – Sale and Purchase of Shares
2.1 Vis te democritum cotidieque…
In fact, the US Constitution itself follows this format (in part: the leading number is omitted per section)
