A file demonstrating three ways of producing numbering in LO

The attached file demonstrates three different ways of applying numbering. The
different methods are described in the text in the file. In all three methods,
I used the same Heading styles created through Outline numbering with three
different methods of producing my numbered normal text. In the first example, I
simply applied manual numbering through the numbering toolbar to the standard
Text Body style. This method provides properly numbered headings and paragraphs
throughout. In the second example, I used the Numbering 1 paragraph style and
apply "Numbering 1" to the style itself. You'll notice that my normal
paragraphs do not automatically restart at "1" after an intervening heading in
the same way that they do with "toolbar" numbering. In the third example, I
used my outline styles that I have previously described in this bug report.
You'll notice that in this example, the first example of "Heading 3" is
numbered "3.2" instead of the "proper" 3.1.

If these three different behaviors are what the LO developers intended in the
design of LO, then I guess there's no bug. If it's not what you intended, then
you might consider whether there may, indeed, be a bug, or at least a better
design. Regardless, it seems a shame to me that the method that provides the
most proper numbering in a typical outline is the most manual and cumbersome
method to use. I've come to really love using paragraph styles and it appears
as if I need to deviate from that practice in order to achieve desired results.

Once again, thank you for your time in this matter. I won't trouble you any
further as I realize you're busy with other things.
