--- Comment #8 from Luke Deller <[email protected]> ---
Trying to trace what is going on here:

- The document outline style created for a new document has the indents set
appropriately for a numbered list.  As I commented against bug 93970, it looks
like outline numbering used to be enabled by default but was disabled in 1996. 
The outline indents probably should have been adjusted accordingly at that time
but they were not.

- The native odt fix in bug 93970 does not touch the outline style, rather it
changes the default paragraph styles named "Heading 1", "Heading 2" etc.  It
explicitly sets an indent of zero on these paragraph styles.

- The docx fix in bug 53175 sidesteps all this by disabling creation of all the
default paragraph styles when loading a docx.

I think we should adjust the default document outline style to have zero
indent, and then revert the change for bug 93970.  This fixes the doc issue
too, I guess because a default outline indent of zero matches Word's default. 
I would like to do some more testing on this before submitting a patch.

One downside with this approach would be if somebody really wants a numbered
outline, then heaps of clicking is involved to configure the outline style back
to how it was before.  I think it would be a great UI improvement if the Tools
-> Outline Numbering dialog allowed the user to select from the available list
styles to initialise the outline style, rather than having to set up the
outline style from first principals.
