You can also copy/paste any of the paragraphs from the list to another
location and it will retain its identity as part of the original list.
That does not work. When I paste the text, it does include the
numbering. I have also been unable to copy just the numbering to the
clipboard.
So, after you type the /some-text-not-in-a-list/ paragraph(s), just
copy/paste any of the list's items and paste it below. The numbering will be
included, and you can just replace the duplicated text.
That only works if I select a portion of the text before and after a
single list item. This causes it to pick up nearby formatting, and
the pasted text needs to have its formatting edited.
Right. You can't do anything directly with the numbering that Writer
generates automatically. It can't be selected, copied or pasted. It is
only a result, generated from the paragraph's numbering style, which is
part of the paragraph's formatting.
To copy the paragraph numbering to another location, you must copy the
paragraph break at the end of the paragraph. To do that, you can
-- Select the entire paragraph with a quadruple-click, or
-- Position the editing cursor after the last character in the paragraph
and press Shift+Right to select the paragraph break alone.
Pasting either of those into an empty paragraph in another location will
include the list numbering. The second option will give you the
numbering with an empty paragraph.
Pasting either of those into a non-empty paragraph will paste only the
text, without changing the formatting of the destination paragraph.
I guess the format paintbrush is the only way to do exactly what you
originally asked for.
