Description Jim Avera 2019-01-21 01:43:17 UTC
Description:
Help for automatic paragraph numbering should say how to navigate levels (promote or demote levels).

The Help text for “Creating Numbered or Bulleted Lists as You Type” says how to create lists but not how to navigate between levels.  That Help entry links to "Numbering and Numbering Styles" and "Format - Bullets and Numbering".

Help for "Numbering and Numbering Styles" says only how to *increase* the numbering level (click in front of the paragraph, then press the Tab key) but does not say how to *decrease* the level.

Help for "Format - Bullets and Numbering" has nothing directly useful to discover how to decrease the numbering level.

Experimentally, the "Demote Level" button in the Bullets & Numbering toolbar works.  I'm sure it is documented somewhere, just not anywhere users will find when starting from Automatic Numbering.

Help for Automatic Numbering should directly or by reasonably-direct linkage say how to navigate levels when using automatic numbering.

Here are the URLs mentioned above (on my local drive):

file:///home/admin/lotest/6.3.0.0.alpha0/opt/libreofficedev6.3/help/en-US/text/swriter/guide/auto_numbering.html?DbPAR=WRITER#bm_id3147407

which links to:

file:///home/admin/lotest/6.3.0.0.alpha0/opt/libreofficedev6.3/help/en-US/text/swriter/guide/using_numbering.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=UNIX

and

file:///home/admin/lotest/6.3.0.0.alpha0/opt/libreofficedev6.3/help/en-US/text/shared/01/06050000.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=UNIX





Experimentally, pressing <Enter> at the end of an indented paragraph starts a new inner numbering level (starting over at 1). 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above.  Also see the attached demo document

Actual Results:
.

Expected Results:
Automatic paragraph numbering Help should say how to increase AND decrease levels.


Reproducible: Always
