For me, creating numbered lists with calligra words simply does not work well.

When entering item #10, the space for the numbering becomes too little, and words elects to add a tab space before the text of the item. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

I saved a file as docx, and the numbering was not exported, so opening again it was just paragraphs.

Then I opened the file in libreoffice writer and added the numbered list, and saved as docx. This also changed the font of the document, which was now visible in calligra words again.

A shame, I would prefer calligra words over libreoffice writer if only it would work.
