--- Comment #14 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
Have changed bug summary to better express the problem. 

To understand the problem.

Start in a Paragraph Style dialog box (e.g., Format > Paragraph for any line).

0.  Ignore "Outline Level" in this dialog box.  It is not relevant for this
issue.
1.  Click on drop-down box in Numbering Style, choose one you like.
2.  Now, edit that chosen Numbering Style (i.e., View > Styles (F11), click on
List Style icon.
3.  Find the Style chosen in step 1, right-click, Modify
4.  For different levels, set different values for Number.

Now here is the problem.....how do you tell your paragraph style which
numbering level (which was set in step 4) to use for the numbering style chosen
in step 1?  (The claim is:  You can't -- with one exception noted below).

You can specify the numbering style in the Paragraph style dialog box. And you
can specify the appearance of each level in the Numbering Style dialog box. But
you cannot link these two dialogs (i.e., to specify which numbering level
should be used in the chosen paragraph style, so you always get Level 1). That
is the problem reported in this bug.

This is consistent with Regina's hypothesis (comment #8), that there is no way
in the Paragraph style dialog to give a level to the numbering style.

It is possible -- as discussed in bug #42920 - to use the Tab key or the
Promote/Demote icons in the Bullets and Numbering Toolbar to introduce these
levels in the document, but there is no way for a user to specify these levels
in the Paragraph style.

A solution, as requested in bug #42920, would be to add a drop-down box in the
Paragraph dialog box in the Numbering section, for example, under the Numbering
Style, where the Level could be specified.
