Writer Guide

For any level other than Level 1, the Relative option causes the
indentation to be measured from the start of the previous level
rather than from the page margin.
• Width of numbering: how much space is used by the numbering
symbol. Writer reserves this space, even if only part of it is used.
• Minimum spacing numbering <-> text: the spacing between
the right edge of the numbering symbol and the text. If the
spacing to text is not sufficient, Writer will honor this setting by
expanding the numbering area. Setting the minimum spacing
between numbering and text is very useful when right-aligning
the numbering or when there is much text before or after the
numbering.
• Numbering alignment: how the numbering (including any text
before or after) will be aligned.
Tip
To fully appreciate how the Numbering alignment works, try to
create a numbered list with more than ten elements and make
sure that enough room has been made for numbers with two or
more digits. You may also wish to right-align numbers 10 or
greater, as in Figure 232 on page 240.
