Numbering gets automatic yellow highlight

Post by UDAYSREE »

I use Open Office Writer for a long list w subheadings for a freebie. When I opened the file today all numbering had a yellow highlight. I cant remove it. Is it a bug or how can I fix it? Any idea?

A sample document would really help. Try saving a copy of your original and remove all unnecessary text from that. To upload a document, click Post Reply and look for the Upload Attachment tab just below the box where you type a response.

There are many reasons which can cause this and each has a different fix. Upload a small example file so it can be analysed otherwise we are just guessing.

As a new poster you will find much useful information in the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials, the up to date Writer guide and the Writer Manual. May I suggest you bookmark the pages.

Press F1 to access the Help screen and search for your problem

The chapter headings in the manual are:

1 - Introducing Writer
2 - Setting up Writer
3 - Working with Text
4 - Formatting Pages
5 - Printing, Exporting, Faxing and E-Mailing
6 - Introduction to Styles
7 - Working with Styles
8 - Working with Graphics
9 - Working with Tables
10 - Working with Templates
11 - Using Mail Merge
12 - Tables of Contents, Indexes and Bibliographies
13 - Working with Master Documents
14 - Working with Fields
15 - Using Forms in Writer
16 - Customizing Writer – Keyboard shortcuts.

When a pop-up window opens, click the Help button for extensive help on that function - it is often more comprehensive than the manual.

See the Writer Guide, the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials and Writer for students.

Remember: Always save your Writer files as .odt files. - see here for the many reasons why.
