Non-english outline numbering (i.e., "一, 二, 三", "①, ②, ③", "α, β, γ"...) are lost when export to DOCX format. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the attached ODT file in Writer. Observe that the outline nunbering are displaying correctly. 2. Save the attached ODT file as DOCX and reopen. --> Outline nunbering are lost. This does not happen to numbering like "1,2,3","i,ii,iii", "I,II,III" etc. This is a possible regression, as I remember it works OK in older versions (althrough I do not know how which version it works).

Created attachment 106841 [details] DOCX file saved with version 4.3.2.1: outline numbering are lost
Version: 4.3.2.1 Build ID: f9b3ad49d92181b0a1fe7e76f785a2c2cd0847d3 OS: Windows XP SP3
CONFIRMED in LO 4.3.1.1 + Ubuntu 14.04 (In reply to comment #0) > Non-english outline numbering (i.e., "一, 二, 三", "①, ②, ③", "α, β, γ"...) are > lost when export to DOCX format. > > Steps to reproduce: > 1.

Confirmed: Heading numbering changes to dots and small dash-like chars. Bug/regression appears to predate 4.3.2, so not a regression introduced in the 4.3.2 tag-and-release cycle.
Created attachment 110095 [details] DOCX file saved with version 4.4.0 beta 1 It's becoming better in Version 4.3.4.1 Build ID: bc356b2f991740509f321d70e4512a6a54c5f243 But still buggy. (Only Heading 1 is correct, all others are of wrong numbering style.)
I can't find anything in the 43all bibisect repository (down to 3.5) which behaves better than current master on the sample file 3.3.0 release does slightly better than what followed, but still not as good as current master, so on balance this can't usefully be classified as a regression (against current master at least) -> Removing Whiteboard: PossibleRegression, bibisectRequest
Still loss of outline numbering in 4.4.2.2 on conversion to docx.
I can confirm this bug still exists. A deal breaker for me. If chapter numbering does not work then I cannot use the Word Processor. And since I only use a WYSIWYG Word Processor if I have to share docs w/ people that don't know how to use LaTeX MS's .doc(x) format is the ONLY way to go. Hope this'll get some priority.
Priotizing properly as per https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/0/06/Prioritizing_Bugs_Flowchart.jpg Enhancement as long as no properly working prior version existed. Minor otherwise ("... or require users not to use some feature").

Reproducible with LO 5.1.0.2, Win 8.1

(In reply to Commit Notification from comment #13) @Mark Hung: Thanks a lot for the fix. Would you please backport this to 5.0 and 5.1? Both these versions are affected.
It's definitely better, but don't know whether this should be marked fixed or some more improvement is realistic to expect. "①, ②, ③", "α, β, γ" are not lost anymore, but they are converted to digits. May I kindly ask for an explanation, why those aren't fully converted?
@Timur: Is numbering in greek letters supported by any version of MS Word? I try to find mapping from here as much as possible: http://www.datypic.com/sc/ooxml/t-w_ST_NumberFormat.html If I can't find one, then I make it fallback to decimal.
(In reply to Mark Hung from comment #16) It should be "Lowercase Latin Alphabet" and "Uppercase Latin Alphabet".

backported to 5.1 for 5.0 i don't think a backport is appropriate since this is not a regression and there are no planned 5.0 releases any more
Hi, Is this bug fixed? If so, could you please close it as RESOLVED FIXED? Regards
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #22) As said in comment 15, the outline numberings are not lost anymore, but "①, ②, ③", "α, β, γ" are converted to digits. So this bug is only half-fixed.
(In reply to Kevin Suo from comment #24) New bug related to "①, ②, ③", "α, β, γ" being converted to digits is reported in bug 103345.
