Why can't you create a character style for your numbers: one
for Hindi numerals and another for Arabic numerals? In the Font tab
of each character style, set the font you want to use and the
Language that will give you the appropriate numerals. Then select the
appropriate style before entering a number, and select Default after
entering the number.
For more information on Styles, see the styles chapters in the
Writer's Guide available at:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/.
