Yuck. I'm not interested in writing code to do that work around.

I just knew it was easy to do in abiword and I wanted to export whatever a
user desired to MsWord. No doubt there will be a bugzilla entry for it
within a few months...
What with happen now is that the list will be imported in MsWord as:
1. Line 1
2. Line 2
2.1 Line here
2.2 Line Here
3. Next here
4. Next here
4.1 Not 4.a)
4.2 Not 4.b)
I can live with that.
Cheers :-)
