JBF also wasnt infavour of your suggestion of 'Heading' in comment 4. I've
leave it up to Heiko and Stuart to give their opinions and they can close this
if they wish.

Quite easy to use and add something by applying it once in the sidebar if it

Unfortunately there isnt a means for users to customize what styles are shown
by default unless they create a new default template and have those styles
applied in the document.

According to the help[1], Automatic "Displays styles appropriate to the current
context.", but yes it would be good to be able to see the same list in the
sidebar (bug 108239).

So 'List Paragraph' has left indent of 0.5" and LO doesnt import it into
another style name, and its closer to 'List Contents' which has 0.39" than
'Text Body Indent' which has 0.2".

If you use it for numbering, why not use a numbering style?

Those are character styles and not paragraph styles.

If its decided on whether the style is a style parent or not, Text Body would
also be out of the list.
