Description: Styles->Load Styles from Template doesn't import Chapter Numbering It's important to have the same set of Styles for every chapter (separate file) in a book. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Edit a document, go to Tools->Chapter Numbering. Click on Numbering tab if not already selected. 2.For the first 4 levels, click on the level, set Numbering to 1,2,3,... 3.Click OK. 4.Save document. 5.Open new document. 6.Click on Styles->Load Styles from Template 7.Under Categories, scroll down, select Styles 8.Select Paragraph and Character, List, Frame, Page, Overwrite. 9.Select "From File...", choose the first file, saved above. Actual Results: The Chapter Numbering settings are not copied from the first document to the open document. Expected Results: I had to find and fill out the Chapter Numbering settings for every chapter that I want to be part of my book. Chapter Numbering should be part of the saved Styles. If not, why not? Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: The software should have copied the Chapter Numbering when all the other Styles were copied.
I confirm the behaviour with Version: 7.4.2.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 382eef1f22670f7f4118c8c2dd222ec7ad009daf CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL Since chapter numbering is not part of a paragraph styl current behaviour might be the expected one. So I would treat it as enhancement request and add design-team. But if you add all settings of template in the new document, why don't you simply use the template itself? cc: Design-Team
You define the list style per chapter numbering but don't assign it to the paragraph style (Outline > Outline Level; use the top-most Heading in the hierarchy). Works with templates, as Dieter commented, but apparently not for "Load Styles from Template". Do we miss something, Mike?
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) > Do we miss something, Mike? I don't quite get the question. Anyway, we are free to define how UI works, and IMO it would be reasonable to import chapter numbering settings together with list styles.
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) > You define the list style per chapter numbering but don't assign it to the > paragraph style (Outline > Outline Level; use the top-most Heading in the > hierarchy). I don't understand this sentence. Heading 1-10 have list style "Chapter Numbering", but I can't see, where this list is defined. It's not part of the list syles in style tab of sidebar. Regarding to LO Help [1] i assme, that it is defined in Tools -> Chapter Numbering. If this is true, chapter numbering is part of the PS and should be imported with "Load Styles from Template". (So I've changed my opinion from comment 1).
