            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.
