Created attachment 169989 [details] num3f.docx: Last line should be green, size 16 font - except the numbering symbol. In the priority of applying attributes, it appears that it should be least: direct paragraph-character properties (default run properties) paragraph style character properties char style character properties greatest: direct char properties This can be seen in the last paragraph of the example document. The green and fontsize 16 from the paragraph style should override the default character run properties of no-colour and fontsize 24. In LO, the size and highlight are taken from the default run properties instead of the paragraph style. This was true as far back as I could bibisect - 3.5. Assuming Inherited from OOo. Note that the order LO handles these properties seems to be correct as far as numbering is concerned, since the bullet point is size 24 with no background. That really complicates things...
