hierarchical row numbering - inheritance
I'm a new OmniOutliner user with a seemingly simple problem that I can not figure out, nor can I find any answers in the manual or in this forum.
I would like to develop an outline with rows automatically numbered hierarchically like this: 1 item 1 -1.1 child 1 -1.2 child 2 --1.2.1 grandchild 1 --1.2.2 grandchild 2 -1.3 child 3 --1.3.1 grandchild 1 etc. I have not been able to do this. I have selected the "[B]1, 1.1, 1.1.1, …[/B]" item from the [B]View/Row Numbering[/B] menu for the entire document, but all I can get is an outline that looks like this: 1 item 1 -1 child 1 -2 child 2 --1 grandchild 1 --2 grandchild 2 -3 child 3 --1 grandchild 1 That is, only the "leaf" number of the tree is shown, not the entire numbering hierarchy. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for any help. .andy |
I'm sorry for the confusion this is causing! If you open up the Style Attributes inspector and then select the first row in the document, what appears in the "All Level 1 Rows" or "Selected Row" sections?
More specific styles override more general ones; my guess is that either the Legal heading type is being overridden by another style in one of those categories, or that the Legal style has been applied in multiple places - that would "reset" the hierarchy. In either case, you can remove the unwanted style by clicking the small circle-with-an-X on the right side of the row in the S.A. inspector. Does that help? |
Ok, that was very helpful!
Thanks, that was exactly the problem. I removed all the styles from the lower level rows, then selected the entire column (whole document) and set the legal numbering attribute. All is now as I expected. Many thanks (and for a tasty tool, indeed). .andy |
