Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 68533
WW8: Paragraphs of list styles do not regard new "Start" value
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:18:02 UTC
A company that develops products for us has a template for collecting minutes of meetings. in the template is a numbered outline which automatically counts up the new table rows. We got a document with some houndred points in it. some lines were removed later, others seemed to be cut 'n pasted into the document. so there was a counting from 4,5,6,12,13,17,24,25, where 4,5,6 and 17 made a group, 12,13 made a group, and 24,25 made a group. unfortunately I cannot hand out that document,but only the template. when importing this document as a *doc file into OOo, then the numbering was cluttered up completely. some numbers that existed in the .doc in MS Office had other numbers in the .doc opened in OOo, so made the numbering completely useless. After exporting the doc to .rtf from MS Office, and then importing it to OOo, made the nubering completely usesless too, as it started to count up from a (random) number, one by one, without any jumps in the row.

please attach the offending document to this issue, so that we can reproduce and fix the problem here. You can also send the document directly (mru@openoffice.org) for the case it contains confidential data. Feel free to re-open the issue when you've done. Thanks for supporting us!

Created attachment 38487 [details] Original document which no longer contains confidential data
MRU->HB: Open the attached "68533_short.doc". In the left column of the table you can see that the numbering sequence is a quite different than in MS Word. Different NumRules are used there; three short ones (see cells A4, A5 and A8) which all have a special "Start value" and one longer list created from a List Style (WW8Num9). That staructure is imported quite correctly, but there are different start values used (see e.g. cell A6).
according to release status meeting: target 3.x
