Numbering is definitely not one of the best features in NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice.org code. It has been fragile in all versions of OpenOffice.org so it is not uncommon for it to get messed up. Also, each version of OpenOffice.org seems to have different steps that trigger a numbered section to fall apart. This is especially true of NeoOffice 3.0.x's underlying OpenOffice 3.0.1 code.
When the OpenOffice.org code messes up numbering, fixing it manually will rarely work and in most cases will only make it worse.
Removing faulty Numbering and replacing it
The best way to fix a numbered section is to reset the entire section's numbering settings using the following steps:
- Highlight all lines in the section and then press the Numbering On/Off toolbar button in the main toolbar section.
- While all lines in the section are still highlighted, press the Numbering On/Off toolbar button in the main toolbar section a second time to turn numbering back on.
If your list had customised formatting then…
- While all lines in the section are still highlighted, select the Format menu and choose Bullets and Numbering and in the dialog that appears, set your custom indent and other settings.
