I use letters (A,B,C,…) for heading 1 and numbers (1,2,3,…) for heading 2 and 3. I get this for heading2: A.1 and for heading3: A.1.1 but I don’t want to have the first dot. It should look like this: A 1 and A 1.1
I cannot find how I can change the separator in Tools → Chapter Numbering.... Is there a way to replace the first dot with space?
Unfortunately you can’t.
The “inner” separator is hard-coded. As soon as you request several sublevels to be shown, Writer add the dot between levels.
A more versatile schema is desired by many users. In the hope to push things, submit a feature request on TDF Bugzilla. I’ll personally support your request.
I added a comment with my idea about number formatting.
Sorry, I marked our beautiful feature request as duplicate of 67986 – EDITING: FORMATTING: Choose characters of each SEPARATOR between numbers in Outline Numbering from 2013. Maybe anyone can tweak this bug report?
