I'm trying to make a longer document in koffice 2.1.0.
But i have some problems with the numbering, when i use bullet points between 2 tittles.

The numbering restarts without a reason. And i can't force is to start at 2 for example.

How do i fix this?
You can find the document at

Thanks in advance

Put this in as a bug. There are quite a lot of bugs in the way bullets and numbering works at present.

Hi,

Lists in KWord can do what you ask, so thats the good news :) I'm not sure if its that easy in 2.1 as lots of user interface fixes went into trunk (to become 2.2).

The 'level' property is used incorrectly in the example file. I think there is some documentation in http://userbase.kde.org/KWord/Manual/Lists

If you create a list by setting multiple paragraphs to the same list properties you need to tell KWord all these paragraphs belong to the same list or it will create more than one list.
So either use a paragraph style which has a list (like Header 1, etc) or be explicit in what you want.
For example you might want to select all your paragraphs in the list, go to the "Format->Paragraph" dialog and select the list you want.
Then as a second step change any paragraphs in there to another list style. For example to change the list-level.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the answer.
But I still can't work good with it. I'm used to openoffice.org and sometimes ms office, in both packages I have no problems to do this.

koffice 2.2 works better, but still not good enough for everyday use.
Although I like the interface, and it being kde very much.

I think you will find that both OpenOffice and MS Word have options to restart numbering after any non-numbered paragraph as well as options for continuous numbering. In LaTeX, which follows strict typographical rules, you have to indent any paragraph between two numbered paragraphs if you want continuous numbering. So any package which allows continuous numbering of paragraphs which have non-numbered paragraphs at the same level is breaching typographical rules.

I think this is just making koffice more difficult to use.

For example this openoffice.org document, is totaly screwed in koffice.

Openoffice.org is I think the reference for .odf, if koffice makes use off it, it must open it the right way.

As far as I can see numbered headings have not yet been implemented for KWord which is why they won't display properly in KWord.

Heading numbering is implemented, but as this post shows it has some problems. Fortunately I've just fixed it in the feature branch. Pending review it will be moved to trunk in time for the 2.3 release
