            Bug ID: 144864
           Summary: List Numbers Lose Formatting
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: myoungpa at gmail.com

Description:
I am a patent attorney. For years I have used Libre Office; although I keep a
current copy of Microsoft Office too.  Lately I have had a problem with
paragraph numbering.  The USPTO recommends numbering each paragraph using four
digits between square braces, such as [0001], [0010] and so on.  To accomplish
that in Libre Office, I use a number list.  Each paragraph is numbered.  For
the first 9 paragraphs, the number is preceded by [000 and followed by ].  For
paragraphs 10 through 99, the number is preceded by [00 and followed by ].  It
has worked fine, until recently.

I save the document as a Word docx file.  I'm not sure if that has anything to
do with my problem.

The problem occurs when I reopen the document in Libre Office (i.e., after the
document has been saved and closed, I may reopen it for further editing).  The
number formatting changes.  What was originally numbered [0001] becomes [1000],
what was originally numbered [0002] becomes [2000] and so on.

Any help will be appreciated.  I'd like to get rid of Word, but cannot seem to
do that.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document with 10 paragraphs.
2. Precede each paragraph with a list number.  For paragraphs 1-9, the format
of the list number will be as follows:  the number will be preceded by [000 and
followed by ].  For paragraph 10, the format of the list number will be as
follows: the number will be preceded by [00 and followed by ].
3. Save the document as a docx document.
4. Close the document.
5. Open the document.  

Actual Results:
When the document is opened in step 5, the numbering format has changed.

Expected Results:
When the document is opened in step 5, the numbering format should not change.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
