The given document shows the following inconsistency or misuse, which seem to
confuse the user:
Paragraph style 'Heading 1' is assigned to outline level 1. Thus, the internal
numbering rule 'outline' is applied to this paragraph style. The 'outline'
numbering is the numbering rule, which is edited in the 'outline numbering'
dialog. But, this paragraph style has an own numbering rule set - namely
numbering rule 'Numbering 1'. Thus, the 'outline' numbering rule is ruled out.
The same holds for paragraph style 'Heading 2' and 'Heading 3'. In such a
situation nobody - I say nobody - can except, that the appliance of one of these
paragraph styles to a paragraph will result in a paragraph, which is numbered
with the 'outline' numbering rule.
In general:
If a paragraph style is applied to a paragraph, one user expects that the
paragraph keeps its own numbering attribute, because she has assigned this
special attribute to the paragraph. Another user expects that the paragraphs own
numbering attribute is deleted and the one of the applied paragraph style is
used instead. Such a discussion can be made for every paragraph attribute. If
you consider, that paragraph styles are also hierarchically organized, this
discussion will become even more complex.

In this special situation I proposed the following change:
If a paragraph style, which is assigned to one of the outline levels and which
has *no* own numbering rule set, is applied to a paragraph, the 'hard' numbering
attributes of paragraphs are deleted and thus, the numbering attributes of the
paragraph styles are applied. The following paragraph attributes are reset at
the paragraph:
- Numbering style
- Numbering - Restart at this paragraph
- Numbering - Start with
This change is only performed, if the user applies a paragraph via the user
interface. Thus, it will not change the appearance of 'old' documents.
For me, the target of this change should be OOo 3.0 and this change should be
treated as an enhancement.
