Bug ID: 143254
Summary: "Greek Upper Letter" numbering style should be named
"Greek Upper Numeral"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needsUXEval
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: mikekaganski at hotmail.com
Customizing a list numbering scheme (Format->Bullets and Numbering), there are
two options to use Greek: "Α, Β, Γ, ... (Greek Upper Letter)" and "α, β, γ, ...
(Greek Lower Letter)". The word "Letter" here is misleading, making one think
that the numbering scheme simply uses Greek alphabet for numbering, as in "a,
b, c, ..." scheme. But actually, this scheme uses Greek Numerals [1]. So the
names should be "Α, Β, Γ, ... (Greek Upper Numerals)" and "α, β, γ, ... (Greek
Lower Numerals)", replacing "Letter" with "Numerals".
The real-life user confusion may be seen at

This is a potential easy hack.
