If both CJKV and CTL are set "on", then, in _theory_, with "context

glyphs that are next to the numbers, be they BiDI, CJKV, CTL, or L2R.

The practice, unfortunately, does not always follow the theory.
There seems to be a mix up here.
My original post was about numbering systems - i.e. different ways of numbering lists, pages etc. e.g. 'a,b,c' '1,2,3' 'א,ב,ג' a setting that can be set set separately for each numbered list in the document. In this case there is _no way_ of determining the desired format from context. I was bothered by the fact that the standard Hebrew numbering cannot be chosen directly in the pull-down menu e.g. in Format->Page->Layout Settings->Format: or Format->Bullets and Numbering-> Options->Number: . The standard Hebrew numbering can only be accessed now by choosing "Native Numbering" in that menu and _also_ setting Hebrew in Tools->Options->Languages->Locale Settings. If there is another numbering system that can only be accessed in the same way (I do not know if that is the case), it would not be possible to use both systems in one document. This is the problem I would like to fix.

Whereas you are referring to a global setting (in Tools->OptionsLanguage Settings->Complex Text Layout->General Options) that defines how to represent _decimal_ numbers (what glyph will appear when typing the number 1 on the keyboard) - in which there are only 2 options - Arabic and Hindi (and also the option to allow both depending on surrounding context - as you pointed out). There is not and cannot be an option for Hebrew over there because the Hebrew numbering system does not follow the decimal numbering system. (It would be like an option for showing the letter 'a' when the number '1' is typed.) It would not be a useful option either since decimal numbers need to be available in Hebrew also and are shown using Arabic numerals.

I hope I have clarified. thanks
