OpenOffice numbering

[Karl Auer]

Can anyone help me with autonumbering in Open Office?

I have a beautifully numbered document. I want to add a new numbered
paragraph. I position the cursor at the end of the para, and hit enter.

What I am expecting is a new para, with the same style as the previous
one, with the next number in sequence from the previous one.

What I get is a new para, with the same style as the previous one, but
the numbering has restarted!

It doesn't make any sense that I can see; is there some setting I have
missed?

Yours hopefully, K.
