Do we really want indentation, seeing that its general usage is
declining anyway?
Which indentation you are referring to: the first-line indentation on
the OOoTextBody paragraph, or the indentation of the numbered
paragraphs from the margin?

Apparently, the two OOoTextBody styles had differing indentations, but I
do not know for sure because I pulled it and saved the changes. [I
overwrote the original.] That one style's indentation was probably a
mistake because they were different from each other.
Also, the start of a body paragraph accompanying a listitem, but without
a bullet or number,would also be flush with the start of the text in the
listitem--no indentation will be used there for that particular style.
And this is a very tiny point: Why do the OOo-predefined list or
numbered styles use the word "Cont." with a period? I noticed that our
OOOxxx versions do not use the period...
I tried using negative vertical paragraph spacing, but any negative
value won't save as they do for the horizontal spacing (allowing hanging
indents). So, for tighter vertical spacing, the introduction style is
needed when starting a list. I thought if negative vertical spacing were
allowed, we could eliminate using that one style. But no...
I also changed some of the 2.9 or 3.1 point values and chose 3 pt
instead. Ditto for the 5.7 point value for spacing--used 6 point for
that one. Don't know why those particular values were used, but integer
values are easier to remember and manipulate when doing any special
formatting in the future.
