Do you have problems with paragraph styles & title numbering?

[fprat]

I’m teaching styles & section numbering using LOWriter 4.4. A number of pupils pose the same problem to me: they have created a paragraph style for section titles, they have applied it where appropriate & they have configured it in the “Outline Numbering” dialog… but things don’t work as expected. Typically, some titles don’t show any numbering.

After a lot of trial & error, we have found the problem dissapears, in a paragraph-by-paragraph basis, if you apply a different paragraph style to the misbehaving title and then reapply the style it previously had.

Have you observed the same problem? Is it a known bug? Is there a way to avoid it (instead of having to solve it when detected)? Are newer versions free of this problem?

Thanks!

So many questions, so few answers. Add your OS to the Q & you may get an answer.

I have also seen this style numbering problem, and +1 for the tip about how to fix it! After the old style is reapplied to a paragraph, I find I have to manually tell it to not restart numbering, i.e. “Continue previous numbering”.
