Well, the Confuse Kevin Conspiracy Nuts will probably answer this too, but...

I think maybe (hopefully!) you're getting confused between two different types of styles in OOo. To get a list working effectively, you need two different types of style:

- a list style, which basically consists of bullet/numbering information (view list styles by clicking on the button on the very right-hand side at the top of the Styles and Formatting window)
- a paragraph style, linked to the list style in its Numbering tab.

... so you can have a paragraph style named 'List 1' and a list style named 'List 1' and these are completely different entities.

To set up a list correctly, you'll usually need to edit both of them.
