1. When importing a word 2003 document I see the number as Arabic numbers.

2. The problem was verified on Debian Unstable with 2.4.0~rc6 and on Windows XP
with 2.4.0.

3. Opening the original word document with Abiword shows numbers correctly (thus
making me think its an OO.org problem).

4. If I save the word document with OO.org, opening it again with abiword indeed
shows Arabic numbers.

A test document and screenshots are attached.

Hi there

Wondering this this fix had also been checked with Math objects in OpenOffice
2.4.1. I am still occasionally seeing this bug with OOo 2.4.1 on Ubuntu Hardy in
documents originally imported from MS Word using OOo 2.4.1.

Cheers
JP

In my OO2.4.1 build this works fine. 
JD, do you work with the ubuntu builds or the downloaded version from OOO homepage?
