1.1 SUB BAB

1.1.1 SUB BAB

There exists no predefined way to do so, because it is a very curious style. It is very unusual, to give the number of the first level a different style, depending where the number occurs. In which context do you need such numbering?

I assume, that you are familiar with setting the numbers via Tools > Outline Numbering. You can fake the behavior, by setting “hidden” in font property tab of the paragraph style of the first heading level (usually Heading 1), and manually write a fake heading in the following line. For the number in the fake heading you can use a number range, so that it adapts automatically when moving whole chapters. In the number range definition you can choose the numbering format I,II,III. For the heading text you can use a reference to the original heading. The original heading gets the number format 1,2,3, same as all other headings. For the fake heading you define a paragraph style, which is a child of Heading 1, where you remove the check in option ‘hidden’.

The best guide I have found is odfauthors advanced-character-and-paragraph-styles
about use of list styles and outline & numbering.

Attached a sample file with it. Several heading numerations with another approach to solve the question.

Not easy arrive to it, but at the end it’s not too much complicated, after a bit of research and test. The key is the use of the Menu/Tools/Outline numbering, it’s the only place that I have found to assign automatically a level to a paragraph style.

1. In Menu/Tools/Outline numbering.
   Select level 1 → paragraph style [None]
   Select level 1-10 → number = 1,2,3…
   Ok.

2. Edit style Heading 1, in Outline&Numbering tab,
   select for Numbering style = Numbering 4 (Roman).

3. For the table index, when it is created, is needed to add in:
   Create From (Index/Table tab), Additional styles, the Heading 1 style to level 1.
   It was deselected of Outline in step 1.

At least, I have learned a bit about the use of lists, a pending lesson for me.
