Created attachment 121187 [details] Numbering paragraphs example It would be nice if LibreOffice Writer could see when paragraphs are written with an Enter between paragraphs. So pressing Enter at the end of this paragraph would leave an Enter between this paragraph and the next paragraph starting with the next number. Tested with: Version: 5.1.0.0.beta2+ Build ID: afa8fec8367c747cbf50d81fe836dd1679b85867 Threads 2; Ver: Windows 6.2; Render: GL; TinderBox: Win-x86@62-merge-TDF, Branch:libreoffice-5-1, Time: 2015-12-09_23:10:03 Version: 5.0.4.1 (x64) Build ID: 2def61bcbb29a7a8611b833682fe1291910b11ad Thank you
Hi Óvári, This feature exists. You have to select Bullets and Numbering from View > Toolbar and use Insert Unnumbered Entry button. A shortcut can be added if you have a frequent usage. Regards.
(In reply to Jacques Guilleron from comment #1) > Insert Unnumbered Entry button. Then pressing Enter, the next numbered entry is not shown. This enhancement suggestion is for LO Writer to automatically insert an unnumbered entry and a numbered entry after pressing Enter when the cursor is anywhere in the numbered paragraph 2 or 3 in the attachment entitled "Numbering paragraphs example". Thank you
OK. I change Status to NEw and Importance to Enhancement. Have a nice day.
I have my doubts that this very special enhancement will ever be implemented. Until that happens I propose to set a 1 line spacing below paragraph to the numbered paragraphs. See Format/Paragraph/Indents&Spacing - Spacing - Below paragraph (Or create a paragraph style with that setting)
(In reply to Oliver Specht from comment #4) > I propose to set a 1 line spacing below paragraph to the numbered paragraphs. Thank you Oliver Specht for your proposed workaround. Below is a use case for this enhancement which unfortunately does work with your proposed workaround. LibreOffice can be used to write emails which are then copy and pasted into Thunderbird. Just pasting produces formatting with strange results. Selecting 'Paste[d] without formatting' in Thunderbird helps. However, paragraph spacing is not preserved with 'Paste without formatting'. An unnumbered Enter between numbered paragraphs would be convenient as this would enable Thunderbird and LibreOffice to look the same without extra formatting before sending an email. Thank you
So I have another workaround: At the end of the paragraph press <Enter> <Backspace> <Space> <Enter> The backspace removes the number, the space makes sure that the last enter does not remove the numbering completely.
(In reply to Oliver Specht (CIB) from comment #6) Thank you Oliver Specht (CIB) for providing a workaround until bug 96381 has been fixed. For (bullets and numbering) outline list that have ~100 items, the workaround would require ~400 extra steps. When LO is in Bullets and Numbering mode and an Enter is pressed, LO could look at the previous paragraph (if the current paragraph is not the first paragraph). If the previous paragraph has no content, then LO Writer could insert an Enter before the next Bullet/Number. Pseudo code =========== IF ( ( Mode(Bullet) OR Mode(Numbering) ) AND ( Number(CurrentParagraph) > 1 ) AND ( WordCount(CurrentParagraph--) == 0 ) AND ( KeyPress == <Enter> ) ) { <Enter> <Backspace> <Space> <Enter> Delete <Space> in previous paragraph } Caveats: 1. Need to ensure that Undo works correctly. 2. The pseudo code may need work using better constructs available in LO to ensure high performance/speed, i.e. LO does not slow down when performing this operation. Thank you
Another idea is to change the space between paragraph to have the hight of a row, so, in this case all will work ok.
