Hi there,
here at ApacheCon Europe 2012 (Sinsheim) Christoph Lipp from Munich solved the
mystery today!
In Impress you need to use a XTextRange and set one of its properties named
"NumberLevel" to a value
between 0 and 8.
After learning the result of his research and experiments I have added a
nutshell example
demonstrating this (also reading and determining the defined NumberLevel using
an XEnumerationAccess
as no XParagraphCursor is available) to my presentation tomorrow ("Scripting
Apache OpenOffice")
you can fetch that presentation's PDF to see a working example, once it becomes
available.
If there is interest, I could also post that nutshell example here.

P.S.: It has been a great and interesting conference!
