I have never been satisfied with OO and LibO's treatment of outline
numbering. I like to control all formatting with Styles, but when it comes
to outline numbering, I can't do that. For outline numbered paragraphs, even
paragraph indents and margins are controlled by Tools/Outline Numbering
rather than the styles.
What I have done is create a bunch of paragraph styles called "Outline-1,"
"Outline-2," "Outline-3," etc. In terms of Style-controlled formatting, each
of these styles is identical -- single spaced with 12 point vertical space
before each paragraph. Then, in the Tools/Outline Numbering dialog, I
associate each outline style with a different outline level. Then within
each particular level, I set the formatting parameters I want with proper
numbering and paragraph indenting.
It is all very backwards as I end up formatting paragraphs, not by the
formatting styles, but by the outline numbering feature. I spent many, many
hours trying to get it figured out, but once I got it done, it works great.
I saved all my styles and outline numbering parameters into my default
template so that I never have to try to figure it out again.

How to activate numbering for heading styles?
Have a look at Tools → Outline Numbering...
Why the hell is this menu item under Tools - I always search in Format and
Styles. Thanks for the
question and answer.
