Heading Numbering

Numbering on headings is achieved by setting a numbering scheme to paragraph styles used as headings. The outline level assigned to the paragraph style expresses the place of a heading in your document structure. A numbering scheme can be set for each outline level.

By default, LibreOfficeDev assigns the predefined “Heading [1–10]” paragraph styles to the corresponding outline levels (1–10) in the dialog. You can use the dialog to assign a different paragraph style to an outline level. Only one paragraph style can be assigned to each outline level.

If you want numbered headings, choose Tools - Heading Numbering. This command opens a dialog where numbering schemes can be assigned to paragraph styles used for headings. Do not use the Toggle Ordered List icon on the Formatting Bar or the Format - Bullets and Numbering dialog.

Numbering for Headings

### Heading

Any paragraph with an outline level different than [None] is a heading.

The paragraph styles named “Heading N” (where N is a number from 1 to 10) have their outline level set by default to the number that corresponds to the number in the paragraph style name. For example, the paragraph style “Heading 2” has outline level 2. Each of the “Heading N” paragraph styles is a heading because they have an outline level different than [None]. If the outline level of a paragraph or its paragraph style (e.g., “Heading 2”) is changed to [None], then the paragraph is no longer a heading. The name of the paragraph style has no consequence for whether a paragraph is a heading or not; only the outline level is relevant.
