I take my notes during class on the computer. And I use tabs to indicate when 
ideas go together. And when its done, I go up to Format and click bullets and 
NUmbering in Word and click the regular outline. And a nice outline is created

Such as:

Story of Christmas 
    Jesus birth
    Wisemen come
        Offer Presents
becomes
I. Story of Christmas
   A. Jesus birth
   B. Wisemen come
       1. Offer Presents

But that's in Word.

In Writer it comes back:

I. Story of Christmas
II.     Jesus Birth
III.    Wisemen come
IV.         Offer gifts

Not as user friendly. So if possible it would be nice to have the Word result 
in openoffice.

Hopefully that makes sense and the formatting will remain.

MRU->FL (cc: OD): when having text containing tab characters at the beginning of
some paragraps  (as described above), these should be converted to subpoints
when assigning an outlined numbering type (as it is done in MS Word.
