OpenOffice Outline - making it stick

[Mike Reinehr]

I've used this with paragraph formatting, not outlining. With OOo it seems 
that the trick to modifying the default format for a document is through the 
styles menu. Open Format/Styles/Catalog and you will see a pull-down menu of 
paragraph, character, frame, page & numbering styles. For each of these, 
then, there are a number of options, default being the one in effect for a 
new document. You either can then modify the default style, or create & name 
a new one.

For your problem, I think the solution would be to select Numbering Styles, 
and then either modify or creat a new numbering style that will be the 
default for your entire document. Whereas, what you are doing (and I did, as 
well) is selecting a style for a specific paragraph, which ends with that 
paragraph.

Hope this helps.
