Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2017-05-07 14:21:40 UTC
Steps:
1) Open attached doc
2) Export to docx

4) Select the 'Outline Level 1 Paragraph Style' line or any of the ones below it
5) Notice that the bullets button is toggled in the paragraph group of the Home tab

LO is incorrectly exporting headings outline level info into <w:numPr> tags, when it is already defined in the <w:outlineLvl> tag, like so

<w:style w:type="paragraph" w:styleId="Heading4">
  <...>
  <w:pPr>
    <w:numPr>
      <w:ilvl w:val="3" />
      <w:numId w:val="1" />
    </w:numPr>
    <...>
    <w:outlineLvl w:val="3" />
  </w:pPr>
  <...>
</w:style>

This is how MS word exports it

<w:style w:type="paragraph" w:styleId="Heading4">
  <...>
  <w:pPr>
    <...>
    <w:outlineLvl w:val="3" />
  </w:pPr>
  <...>
</w:style>

See bug 76817 and https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/47828. Not exactly what this bug report is requesting, but similar. It prevents printing numId/iLvl for Outlines in document.xml, while this report is about styles.xml.

Heading X might not be the best style to use for testing, since it is handled as a special case in .docx import. It uses the special, built-in Outline list style (aka Chapter Numbering). So, actually, in the ODT, Heading 1 IS turning on numbering - it just happens to be using display character NONE, but numbering itself is enabled.  (Heading 1 properties - Numbering Style = Outline Numbering). So there SHOULD be a numId and ilvl associated with Heading 1.

Roundtripping with Word 2003, I still see numPr with ilvl and numId. OutlineLvl doesn't contain any connection to the numId, and documentation doesn't make any link between ilvl and OutlineLvl.

As far as I can see, LO is handling the styles.xml part OK.

I'm sorry to say the commit was just reverted in master, sigh.

I'm going to mark this as NOTABUG. I worked on lists/chapter numbering extensively in LO 7.3, and from what I read here (this bug and duplicate 133802), I don't notice anything that I would consider incorrect.
