Hi.
I have got myself into a state with numbering that may be someone could
help me get out of, or if there is no way out may be it will lead to a
bug being filed.
I have been making notes for a company LO styles usage manual and
looking at what users have been doing and what they should have done and
how to fix up their manuals.

I will simply explain how to recreate the problem and possibly someone
can help me with the correction.

1-Create a new writer document.
2-Add say 5 lines of text.
3-Apply list style Numbering 1 to get outline numbering.
4-Highlight line 2 and "Demote one level"
5-With line 2 now demoted change the font size of the text after the
numbering. The size of the outline numbering on line 2 changes to match.

This is all as expected and as historically has happened through LO and OO.

6-Now click on the outline numbering (so just the numbering is
highlighted in gray) And change the font to another font and change the
font size to another size. The outline numbering all changes.
7-highlight line 4 and "Demote one level"
8-With line 4 now demoted change the font size of the text after the
numbering.
For your points 5 and 6 you are hard formatting the appearance of the text. Instead do the 
following:

Highlight the text of your point 5, press F11 to get the styles and formatting window, and modify 
the corresponding (highlighted) style, that is applied to this text. Do the same for the formatting 
of your outline numbering.
The size of the outline numbering no longer changes to match the text.
The outline numbering is fixed the same font, size, weight everywhere.
This is probably because hard formatted text takes precedence over applied styles.

To remove your hard formatting mark (highlight) all your text and select "Default formatting". Once 
this is done, you can modify the styles for the outline numbering in any way you want - but use the styles 
and formatting window to do this. :)

Thanks, but I find that if you follow my example hard formatting the font using "Default formatting" does not clear the hard formatting. I can't seem to get rid of it and any new lists are created with the same hard formatting.
