Wiki item on Numbering (as in Bullets and Numbering)

James3359

I recently needed to do a numbered list where I wanted to skip a number. After playing about with various options and looking at Help, I Googled and came up with this solution

I would suggest adding it to the "Numbering Pages, Lines, etc." section, and renaming the Section "Numbering Pages, Lines, Lists, etc."

Had it been a blog post or tutorial, instead of a forum post, I would have suggested the External Writer Tips: Lists and Numbering, and just providing a link to the article.

Yes it's actually an OOo forum post, so I could link to that as an external link - would it be fairly secure, or is there a big risk of it being deleted/moved?

With forum posts I usually summarize or even quote in the wiki page and then provide a link to the thread, as they can be a little harder to work through the thread and get the answer needed.
