imho, numbering is an unnecessarily fragile component in every word-processor that follows the Word paradigm … not just Open/LibreOffice



There should be some sort of shrine to Shauna Kelly, where all of us who've been helped out by her descriptions of how to tame the beast could place offerings.

The problem appears to be with the conversion. If you open a file in LibreOffice whose numbering was created in OpenOffice or in Word, there will always be some aspect of numbering that isn't working properly. :-(
