Agreeing with Regina in bug 83071 comment 28, I'm opening this bug to ask for a better wording for Tools > Outline/Chapter numbering > Format. Online help page https://help.libreoffice.org/index.php?title=Writer/Outline_Numbering&Language=en-US&System=UNIX&Version=6.0#bm_id3154191 says: "Saves or loads an outline number format.

Yes, to load an outline-style, click on its name in the list.
So the choice is between "Format" and "Style" ? Which one explains better (?) what it does..

Why not "Load/Save..."? That is the essence of that feature.
(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #9) > Why not "Load/Save..."? That is the essence of that feature. This is a good idea and better than 'Format(ting)' or 'Style' which I don't like. But is in HIG a noun required for a button naming like this?
Load/Save is explaining best what it does, IMO
So let's go with Load/Save (without ellipsis). Taking...
