ODT and PDF showing the 3 ordered list entry methods from Writer Guide v4.0.

I am confirming this bug under Ubuntu 10.04 running v4.1.3.2 Build ID:
70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a. Status set to NEW. There is a problem
with the manner in which ordered list numbering is handled with respect to the
use of styles (paragraph and list), as originally reported:

> Paragraph styles for numbered lists do not have a means to specify
> that the numbering be restarted.

This is correct. Only direct formatting (Format > Paragraph...) can be used to
restart list numbering in styles. First a few corrections:

(In response to comment #2)
> I used Line numbering - Restart at this paragraph - Start with 1 option.

Line numbering is a separate facility to list numbering, regardless of the
method used to number a list. The indicated settings have no effect on list
numbering (nor should they).

(In response to comment #5)
> I think you can workaround this by using special numbering and styles.

Broadly speaking, yes, it is possible to workaround the issue as described
e.g., by direct formatting. The sample provided in comment #5 however uses
outline numbering via the Tools > Outline Numbering facility and sets different
levels for the first and subsequent items (even though they are the same
level). This is a hack.

There are three different methods of defining ordered lists and in the
attachment I have indicated where these are described in the Writer Guide v4.0.
The first two use direct formatting and work. The last one, of which I provide
two examples, uses only paragraph and list styles, and exhibits the problem as
reported. 

I will test these three methods under older versions of Writer if I get the
chance over the coming days, to determine whether the behaviour as described
has always been this way (likely), or is a regression (less likely).
