You just need to create a opendocument template file and have all the org file use it. See (info "(org) Applying custom styles") 1. Export ONE document. 2. Fix outline numbering 3. Save the file as say custom-style.ott (Note: It is OTT and not ODT) 4. Add a directive to ALL THE OTHER org file as below. M-x org-export-insert-default-template odt and modify the ODT_STYLES_FILE directive as below. #+ODT_STYLES_FILE: "~/a/b/custom-style.ott" 5. Now if I export the org files with (4), you will get the outline numbering that you desire.
