--- Comment #7 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
Continuing from previous comment...about use of "numbering style" in UI.

Here is an overview of all the cases (I could find) where "numbering style"
should be changed.   

( Conclusion: relatively small/manageable number of changes )

I.  Tooltips 
Many of them involve this phrase:

‟Select the numbering style that you want to use.”

when selecting numbering for footnotes, line numbers, lists, and the dropdown
box shows the different numbering schemes, 1,2,3, One,Two,Three, i,ii,iii

Would change it to:  ‟Select the numbering scheme that you want to use”

NB. "scheme" might be a better word than "type" and "kind" (see points 4 and 5
in comment 4) when referring to different numbering schemes (and gives a way to
avoid the word "style" when referring to different schemes).

Changes Needed in: 

“Customize” tabs for "Bullets and Numbering" ...
   ( cui/uiconfig/ui/numberingoptionspage.ui ) 

...and "Numbering Style"
 ( cui/uiconfig/ui/picknumberingpage.ui )

‟Chapter Numbering” dialog        
( sw/uiconfig/swriter/ui/outlinenumbering.ui )   
( sw/uiconfig/swriter/ui/outlinenumberingpage.ui )

"Footnote/Endnote settings" dialog
( sw/uiconfig/swriter/ui/footnotesendnotestabpage.ui ) 
( sw/uiconfig/swriter/ui/footnotepage.ui )

"Line numbering" dialog
( sw/uiconfig/swriter/ui/linenumbering.ui )


II.  Labels, etc. 

- For Style Inspector

   "Numbering Style Name" --> "List Style Name"
     ( sw/inc/inspectorproperties.hrc )

- For one TotD

  "To automatically number table rows in Writer, select the relevant column,
then apply a numbering style from List Styles”  →

"To automatically number table rows in Writer, select the relevant column, then
apply a List style.”
