Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 39411
Free positioning of outline number and chapter name (allow number on the right side of heading)
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:21 UTC
I would like to see a more flexible way to position the outline number using the outline numbering dialog. My goal was to position the outline number right beside the chapter name. So I searched for a way to get the chapter name on the left side and the outline number on the right side of the same line. But the outline numbering dialog only allows the outline number left beside the chpater name. So I had to take an ugly hack -- using white font color and the smallest font size for the first level heading. The "real" chapter name and number I imitated with fields below the "real" heading. I tried several other suggestions but no one worked satisfactorily. So an outline numbering enhacement in further versions of OOo would be helpful.
reassigned to "requirements".
as a workaround, you can use right-to-left textdirection for the heading (activate support for CTL in Tools|Options->language settings)
Thanks for the hint. Using CTL is a great way to solve this problem. It works fantastic for me.
