automatic numbered lists

[dstgf]

Is it possible to pre-format the automatic numbered lists
function so that the document automatically creates
numbered lists according to my own formatting rather than
the programs defaults?

 

[Greg Maxey]

My advice, is to stay away from Automatic Numbered List.

Use styles. See:

html

for tips for setting up styles with numbering.

 

[Charles Kenyon]

Yes, but you don't want to be using automatic numbered lists. You want to be
using carefully developed styles that contain your numbering scheme.
