Tip
In normal circumstances, setting the Numbering followed by distance
to be equal to the Indent at distance works well. See Figure 256 for a
graphic representation of the effects of the above parameters.

If your document was created with an earlier version of OOo, or if the document was
saved for compatibility reasons using the ODF file format version 1.1 or earlier, the

In this case you can adjust the following settings:
• Indent: the indentation of the number or bullet area, measured from the left
margin of the paragraph linked to the numbering style. In other words, if the
paragraph style already has an indentation, when the list style is applied the
indentations are added together.
