exoticNumbering_MSO2016.docx: mixture of Arabic/Hebrew numbering.

Numbering is used in various places in Writer (and Word).
1.) Line numbering: no option that I see in Word to configure this: Always 1,2,3.
2.) Page numbering: very limited support currently - no Hebrew or Arabic chars.
3.) Footnote numbering: spotty support.
4.) List numbering: good DOCX support. Only missing arabicAbjad recognition.
5.) ??? anything else ???

There are some fairly comprehensive conversion functions for both import and export, but they aren't used consistently. I don't see any reason why the same conversion function can't be used in all cases.

Steps to reproduce:
-just open the document - none of the numbering should be in 123, or roman.
-save and reload the document.
