[libreoffice-users] Outline Numbering Ignorance.

Hi.
I'm about to show my ignorance here, what is Tools > Outline Numbering 
for. The help and Writer guide a a bit brief.

For years I have been creating manuals with a layout
1
   1.1
      1.1.1 etc. where these items are all in the table of contents.
Last night I change the style of Heading 4 and looked a bit deeper and I 
find I am using Heading styles 1-4 with Numbering style 1.
When I look at Outline Numbering it sets the paragraph style for each 
outline level but there are no position and spacing or number and 
character style set. These are all set in the paragraph and numbering 
styles.
How does Tools > Outline Numbering do more than assign a paragraph style 
to an outline level, do the settings in Tools > Outline Numbering over 
ride the styles or vis versa.

Any help to clear the fog much appreciated.
Steve
