Reassigned to MRU In the style it is only possible to reset the "Line numbering" for the paragraph, but not the "Paragraph numbering". The paragraph numbering can only be resetted as hard attribute in "Format.Paragraph" for each paragraph. This is not allowed, because it might interfere with the "start with" feature of the numbering style. Closed, because not a but; more a limitation due to the concept. Adding the ability to reset paragraph numbering from a style is a useful feature, and is required for including source-code dumps into a document wiithout manually resetting code numbering before each file. Sorry, but this won't be implemented. There are two reasons, why this has not been designed like you desire. 1. It might interfere with the "Start at" property of a Numbering style 2. It does not make sense to have several succeeding paragraphs which all have the number 1, because they all have the same paragraph style where the number is resetted to 1. This was the result of a kind of User experience research. Closed. It does not make sense to have several consecutive paragraphs all set to "1", but when used with another style, you can have many paragraphs in a numbered order, and a new list automatically somewhere else. A suggested fix: Instead of adding a "reset to..." button in paragraph styles, which may interfere with the numbering style, add a "reset paragraph numbering" check box, which resets to the "start at" of the numbering style. No flexibility is lost and a useful feature is gained. Not the worst proposal... reassigned to Product Management for decision. Set to "NEW" OpenOffice.org Issue Tracker - Feedback Request.
