When saving to DOCX, LibreOffice often maps its native list styles (like List1) to Word-specific numbering styles (WWNum1, WWNum2, etc.) on reopen, which explains the thicker bullets and style substitution. Unfortunately, this behavior is reproducible in older LibreOffice versions and is tied to how Word handles list definitions internally. A practical workaround is to save documents in ODT format while editing, or manually redefine list styles after reopening DOCX files.
