     Perhaps what was meant: the document created in LO use 
Hindu-Arabic numbers. However, it is very possible that someone whose 
native language is Arabic uses different characters to write their 
numbers. Perhaps MSW is using the latter way to write numbers. Evenso, 
this does seem very strange.
