OpenOffice imports new white space in paragraphs after numbers

The sample file shows a some problems with importing paragraphs 1. In OpenOffice the paragraphs appear to gain white space after the numbers: This is absent in the source text.
Created attachment 36 [details] Word 2000 showing added whitespace
Reassigned to Michael Ruess, our Word filter specialist
This is not a Bug. WinWord has the option, to leave out the space between Number and text even though the numbered paragraph is formatted with a hanging indent. See in Word under Format/Numbering: set the option "Text after" to "Tabstop"; this is is the thing that happens in Writer. Writer does not support something like "no text after Number".
> Writer does not support something > like "no text after Number". If we are claiming to be compatible with Word, should we not support "nothing" as "Text after"? Should it be a bug against the writer engine to support "no text after" in order that the filter can set it?
Of course you are right. To grant compatibility here, an enhancement in Writer´s handling with numbering has to be made. This is decided by the Product Management, so I send this issue there.
Verified, it is a bug not a RFE
So the PM has decided to handle this as a bug, it goes to the development. MRU->JP: First -I think- it has to be implemented by the application. Are you the right adressee for this?
Michael describe this correct, the core can't handle WinWord options. No body adds any space, the Wordprocessor show the number always in the negativ firstline indent. And in this case the firstline indent is bigger than the number. This can't never be a bug, only a feature wish.
