I started with a numbered list (1., 2., etc.) and then decided that I wanted it
to be in a table, so I selected my text and told OOo to insert a table.  Every
line in my original list ended up being a row in the table, and it kept the
numbering.  Excellent!  When I would insert a new row, the new row would be
automatically populated with the correct number in sequence.  Awesome!

I decided that I didn't like the spacing from the left edge to the number, so I
selected all the rows of the table, selected "Bullets and numbering..." from the
Format menu, and then changed the spacing from 0.25 to 0.  When I clicked "Ok",
all of the numbers changed to "1.".  Not good.  This seems like a bug to me.

I did notice that if I DO NOT select the table cells and I try (so I was
thinking) to change the formatting for only ONE line, it changes the formatting
for ALL of the lines.  Interesting.

Another thing I can't figure out how to do is change the default formatting that
you get when you just click the "numbering" button in the toolbar.
