[Bug 79641] LibreOffice 4.4 most annoying bugs

I'm gonna have to read up on the Office Open XML (OOXML) format/file type
(which, confusingly to me, is called .docx in LO), the native Word 2007 (and
higher Word versions) file format (also called .docx) and ye 'ol .doc format.
This is not to be confused w/ the 'open document file' (ODF) format which, I
believe, has been used by Libre- and OpenOffice since a long time. Documents in
the ODT format have the extension .odT (with the T from Text, not the D for
document) which is also confusing to me (I thought that native LO and 'ye 'ol
OOo documents ndend in .odF).  

I found a nice article about this:

Sorry for all this off topic stuff by me that really belongs in a chat or
support forum. I'm getting old. Back in the days there was only M$ Word (i.e.
.doc) and OpenOffice (which I thought saved in the .odf extension).

As for now, what I did to create a document that my Word loving friends can
read, edit and save is:

1. Open Libre Office.
2. Create new Writer document.
3. Write some text.
4. Choose: File > Save as > Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP/2003 (.doc).
   FYI: I used to choose .doc because I thought that .docx was less 
   well supported in OOo/LO... 
5. Or I choose: File > Save as > Microsoft Word 2007/2010/2013 XML (.docx)

I never even noticed that in LO there's also an option way down at the bottom
called "Office Open XML (.docx)". Until today I've never heard of this format.
Until today I really couldn't give a rats *ss 'bout M$'s fiddling w/ .doc and
.docx format. I just don't care. If people want to use proprietary software and 
operating systems that's their problem, not mine. Boy was I wrong! 

I'll try to create an .docx LO (that is Office Open XML, not Microsoft .docx!)
document and I'll test if the outline numbering probelm is also there.

As for me the question remains how MS Word 2007+ handles OOXML .docx files that
were created by LO. Does it leave LO's .docx format intact or not? And how does
LO handle M$ created .docx files, does the outline numbering bug appear of
doesn't it? 

To be continued. Hope y'all will forgive me all the confusion I might have
created and the overly long comments that posted here. One is never to old to
learn. :-)
