LibreWriter line number/style question...

Anyone use LibreWriter? If so, can you answer this little teeny query:

Basically, I've created a new preformatted style, that I want to display line numbers, which works when I lay a chunk of text down and use the style on it, which it numbers from 1-36 correctly, then I add some different text in a different style, then some more text with the new preformatted style, the increments are continued from the previous use of the numbered style, so, say if I use the same text, I then get it numbered from 37-72. But, I have the style option "Restart at this paragraph" set to 1 in Outline & List->Line Numbering. Which I presumed I would result in two sets of the same text numbered 1-36 each, if you get me.

So the question is... How do I get the second set (And future blocks of text in the style) of text to start from, well, 1? Because as I can see, the way I tried it doesn't work don't you know!

Bloody typical... Figured it out... One had to place the cursor on top of the text I wanted it to reset the number from, then right-click->List->Restart numbering!

I've been mucking about and knew... KNEW... As soon as I asked anyone the question somewhere, I'd suss it! :D

Always the way innit! :P

As a side note, they appear to offer something along the lines of VisualBASIC for Applications but their own poorly defined version.
Might make for a fun little hack, might be able to implement a game in LibreOffice Calc.
