SBA-> quest88: Please see http://qa.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddIssues_EnterModify.html#priority Thank you for your comprehension. Change Prio to P3.
That is, because new spacing and position attributes have been introduced for numbered lists in OO 3.0. These cannot be depicted in OO 2.4 and older. See specification " New position and space attributes for list levels of a list style" on http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/index.html for further information. You have to switch to ODF 1.1 in Tools.Options.Load/Save.General before creating a new document which should have the "old" list attributes of OOo 2.x.
Closed, it is a new feature in OOO3 which cannot be depicted in OOo 2.x.
