Reassigned to Christian. Reassigned to Bettina. There is a quick method which doesn't seem to be well documented. A quote from users faq which explains this follows. However, this is still worth a RFE: Add an option to the GUI (e.g. context menue of a formula object) for having the equation numbered. === quote from user faq: === How do I number my equations? Displayed equations in Writer documents can be numbered using a predefined AutoText: Type fn at the beginning of a paragraph and press F3. This will insert an AutoText containing a dummy formula and a sequence number. Now doubleclick the formula to edit it. If you want to number the equations by chapter you should * Doubleclick on one of the equation numbers. * In the listbox 'Level' choose the chapter level you want to number by. * In the textbox 'Separator' type a character to separate the chapter number from the formula number. If you want to modify the AutoText you should use the dialogue Edit-AutoText. You will find this AutoText in the group Standard. === end quote === The quick method to introduce equation numbering does not look like it would be "the nice way" - why i figure numbering not treated like a caption. If OOo would implement captions that can be placed on top, right, bottom or left the problem could be easily resolved by automatic or manual "captioning" of formulae. Using a table (as it is done by the fn + <F3> rather seems to be a workaround. On the other hand the caption framing is somehow messy to. So my suggestion is the following: 1) Captions should be frames with a table inside, where the content is placed in a separate cell like the caption is. 2) rightclicking the captions frame should trigger a "format caption" menu with an option to change the position, to fix it relative to the surrounding page/frame or to remove the caption at all. 3) A caption style would help to keep this settings constant all over the document. To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements". |
