Description Steve 2014-03-06 11:12:14 UTC
Problem description:  bullets and numbering/ outline  list /  numeric and all sub-levels numbering does not work. It is not setup properly in the options tab.

Further:-
The numeric and all sub-levels selection can be set up correctly in the options tab. However this does not become permanent or global either within the document being editted or across documents as these new settings will only apply to the one list currently being formatted within that document. 



Steps to reproduce:
1. ....
2. ....
3. ....

Current behavior:
Does not show all levels, 
On pressing the Tab button against a list line it just indents and does not show all levels, it just displays level 1. 

Expected behavior:
On pressing the tab button against a list line it should indent and display the new sub-level. 

I have tried using tools/ outline numbering but this appears to be just for headings or is best used for only that purpose. At one pont I lost all the heading outline numbering in the document and it only returned when I re-instated the outline numbering against headings.  
Operating System: Windows XP
Version: 4.2.0.4 release

I am closing this as a duplicate. Even though this one was reported first, the other one has clearer instructions as to what the issue is

This is not a duplicate of 75848.

Lets see if i can clarify 75832

List outline numbering does not work. 


Create 2 lines of text 
Select both 
Select format/ bullets and numbering / outline /  numeric and all sub-levels (this is bottom row second from the right). 
OK 

2 lines in list are now numbered 1;2
Select second line
press tab 
second line is now indented but incorrectly numbered 1
So both lines in the list are now numbered 1.
The lines should be numbered 1; 1.1 

Lets see if we can agree on this before I describe the problem further.

Apologies - there is a mistake in these instructions.
replace "select second line" with "position cursor at start of text on second line"
