You misunderstood me, Mike. I said I would go with OnlyOffice's way, _not_
Word's:

I.e:

a) 1st backspace: remove numbering/bullet (i.e. turn the paragraph into an
"unnumbered item")
b) 2nd backspace: remove indent of the unnumbered item
c) 3rd backspace: move paragraph to first line, keeping 1st number, to end up
with:

1. Alice
2. has
3. a cat.

I'd also be OK with no (b), if there's a reason not to have it. But I sometimes
want to have a list that continues after a "normal" body text paragraph, so I
would find that step useful too.
