Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 61651
'Hidden' text visible
Last modified: 2006-02-08 07:02:01 UTC
I am running OOo 2.0 (680m1(Build8990)) according to Help-About. JRE version 1.4.2 on Windows 98 (4.10.1998) on a AMD-K6 500MHz with 384MB of RAM. In Writer, in Format -> Bullets and Numbering -> Options. I select a Character style using 'Hidden' Font effect and link it to Heading1, to use for Chapter numbering (to subsequently include in the footer along with the page number). This text needs to be hidden because the numbering changes with each chapter, and the chapter heading text doesn't not have numbers in it. If I select this Character style for any other text, it is in fact hidden. When linked to Heading1, it is visible.
Created attachment 33873 [details] .odt file with 1-line header with specified numbering
how do you link a character style with Heading 1? Heading 1 is a paragraph style.
Under Format -> Bullets and Numbering -> Options The heading level is linked to a particular character style, in this case one with "hidden" as a font attribute.
The "link" to a character style only specifies the format for the "number" of the heading to possibly have this in a different format than the rest of the heading paragraph. The "hidden" property will not work here, because hiding a number of a paragraph is only possibl manually by deleting it. If you want the whole paragraph to be hidden, you must specify this in the properties of the used paragraph style.
Closed, this works as designed.
