OK sorry I was confusing ;)
I don't agree that your description fits what I am doing, so let me start over.
Please feel free to describe a proper way - I've made no attempt to read the
code.
goal:
maintain an odt doc with Chapters and Appendices both at heading level 1, with
automatic numbering, and 1,2,3 numbering for Chapters, and A,B,C numbering for
Appendices. They have to both be at level1, because I also have to create a pdf
with the same doc - its distributed as a pdf and in print.
> You assign list styles (Numbering
> 1, Numbering 2) to certain Heading paragraphs which is one numbering rule.
No, I have two list styles for one heading style & therefore two list styles for
one outline level.
> Than
> you try to assign a "real" outline numbering to heading paragraphs via the
> "Format.Numbering" dialog, which will lead to a new (second) numbering rule...
>>JF said "NOTE: you must use
>> format-bullets&num-remove as well as changing the para style to change the
>> scheme of chapters and appendices."
No, just the opposite, I am expressly not using local Format-Numbering, except
to remove all numbering. Not necessary with a fresh doc BTW. Needed if you
change Chaps&Appx because the numbering is carried in the manually assigned list
style, not automatically in the paragragh Heading style.

Tools-OutlineNumbering is to be avoided in this workaround.
> The paragraph which have assigned a list style will be of course counted
> independently from all other paragraphs which do NOT have such a list style.
I don't understand what you are saying here, sorry.

> if you were editing..."
Ah, That was poorly expressed. sorry. I mean as one writes a big document,
sometimes one needs to split a chapter, add or delete chapters and appendices. I
*should* be able to assign some arbitrary body text Heading1, assign Numbering1,
and automatically create a new Chapter with proper numbering of all Chapters.
Same for Appendices with Numbering2. Same for deletion, or moving an existing
Chapter/Appx.
workaround technique:
1) Avoid local formatting with Format-Numbering dialog except to remove
Chap/Appx from text.
2) Avoid Tools-OutlineNumbering dialog altogether for level 1.
3) Use a combination of Heading1 style and an appropriate Numbering (i.e list)
style to produce a chapter or an appendix title.
4) To remove or move a chap/appx title you must undo both steps: change from
Heading1 to some other paragraph style, and use Format-Numbering to select
"none". { do not ever assign a dummy empty list style to all un-numbered
paragraphs - this slows the Navigator to a crawl.}
HTH, John
