etc.

Per level you should have at least two headings. If you have a 2.1 heading then you should also

have a 2.2 heading, a 2.1 all alone would definitely be a mistake.

If you are going to use a third or even fourth level, then leave these unnumbered and don’t

include them in the table of contents. I myself have used two levels in this document, but only

actually included the first one in my table of contents and also only numbered this first level.

Think about it: numbering suggests structure or even hierarchy. And a finespun numbering

structure suggests to the reader an equally finespun logic which might not actually exist in the

social reality you are trying to describe. For technical publications or textbooks on the other

hand that would be fine.

Avoid overlong chapter headings. Short headings with some explanatory text immediately fol-

lowing are preferable. Don’t forget: long headings also appear in the table of contents in their

full length.

□ Some Settings

Under Tools › Options › OpenOffice.org Writer › Compatibility I would

recommend unchecking three choice boxes:

• Add spacing between paragraphs and tables; unchecking this option ensures

that the set spacing below a paragraph and the set spacing above the paragraph imme-

diately following it do not get added together; instead only the larger of the two spa-

cings takes effect

• Add paragraph and table spacing at tops of pages; unchecking this option

ensures that headings appear right at the top margin, without the usual set spacing sep-

arating them from a previous paragraph

• Expand word space on lines with manual line breaks in justified

paragraphs; unchecking this option ensures that inserting a new line using short cut

Shift

Return will not expand the words on the previous line right up to the right

margin; instead they will be left aligned even in a paragraph with justified alignment

Having removed these three ticks don’t forget to press the button Use as Default so that

these changes apply also to any future documents.

6 Chapter Numbering

Numbering of headings can and should be completely automated. This has for one the

advantage that if you decide to add or remove headings or move chapters and sections around

or even change the level of a heading from level 1 to level 2 or vice versa, you won’t have to

renumber them manually. Furthermore you can do this moving around of chapters and sec-

tions using the Navigator – you don’t need to tediously mark text, cut it out and reinsert it in

its new location! Another advantage is when working in groups. The various participants all
