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

1. Doubleclick on one of the equation numbers.
2. In the listbox 'Level' choose the chapter level you want to number by.
3. 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.
