            Bug ID: 140178
           Summary: Change "Outline & List" to "Level & List" as tab label
                    in Paragraph and Paragraph Style dialogs
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: sdc.blanco at youmail.dk

Adapted from bug 139667, comment 31

Recently, the label "Outline & Numbering" was changed to "Outline & List" in
the Paragraph and Paragraph Style dialogs -- because the tab provides the
opportunity to select a List Style

Here an additional change is proposed:

   "Outline & List"  -> "Level & List"

Reasons:  
(a) reduce confusion with "Outline" tab and "Outline" in Bullets and Numbering,
    which has a different meaning (see bug 139667, comment 16).
(b) highlights the important aspect of the control in the Paragraph (and PS) 
    tab, namely "Level" 
       (i.e., sets the Level within an outline, it is not making an outline, 
       plus Level has other functions, e.g, what is shown in TOC, behavior in 
       Outline Content Visibility).
(c) The Position and Customize tabs in "Bullets and Numbering" and "List Style"
    dialogs have a "Level" option. Perhaps seeing "Level" in the tab for the 
    Paragraph dialogs would help invite/draw an (appropriate) connection with
    the "Level" option in the Bullets and Numbering / List Style dialog.
(d) Seems best to leave the "Outline" label unchanged as the tab name 
    in Bullets and Numbering, because it contains what is commonly known as  
    "outline types" or "outline formats" (see Google).
