Try changing the values so that we get hanging indent in the usual sense. The interplay between the numbers is still extremely complicated for an average user to understand. Now look at the paragraph formatting: Format | Paragraph > Indents & Spacing. The actual value is (judging by the ruler) almost 1.3". But here’s catch: the first value has actually very little to do with the actual formatting as seen in the slide, because for an obscure reason paragraph formatting *also* sets indentation values. Indent is actually 0.63" and numbering alignment 0.31". Thus, you would expect that the second level indentation were 0.12 + 0.35 = 0.47" to align it with the text of the first level. Indent = 0.12", numbering alignment 0.35". First select level 1 to see the values for the first level. Now look at Format | Bullets and numbering > Position tab. Add some text for the first bullet, press Enter, then press Tab to add a second level. Select any presentation style equipped with LibreOffice (I used “Acryl” here which is available by default at least in LibreOffice 3.3.1, OOO330m19 (Build:8), in openSUSE 11.4).Ĭreate a new slide with “Title, Content”. In LibreOffice (and before that) this is extremely tricky to achieve because of an intricate interplay between the values under bullets and numbering and the values under paragraph formatting, both of which take a part in determining the outcome. Also, for a multi line item, the text should be left-aligned. The usual way to format bulleted lists is with hanging indent so that the bullet of level n+1 is positioned where the text (not taking the bullet into account) of level n begins. The following applies to most Impress styles but not, as far I can see, the default plain style at its default values.
