Replicated the bug successfully under the following environment &
configuration:
Operating System: Windows 8 
System type: 64-bit operating system
Open Office Version: 4.0.1
Build: 9714 - Rev. 1524958

Steps and observations to encounter the bug:

1. I opened a new text document in Open Office and made numbering on and then
wrote some lines. Then I inserted table and copied the above line into the
table and the result was the numbering style of the lines pasted was retained
and the pasted text is associated with another number.
2. I opened a new text document in Open Office, made numbering on and then I
wrote some lines. Then I made numbering off and wrote some lines and then again
I turned it on after inserting a table and copied the lines written with
numbering on into the table. Result was 1st cell had number 1 as I turned the
numbering on after inserting the table but the numbering style of the copied
text was retained in every other cell. Also, when I copied the text written
with numbering off then text is pasted with no number associated even when the
numbering of the table is kept on before copying, as it retains the font of the
copied text.
3. I again opened a new text document in Open Office and made numbering on and
wrote some lines and then made numbering off and wrote some lines and then
inserted the table and kept the numbering off. Then I copied the text written
with numbering on in one cell and then again copied the text written with
numbering off in another cell. The result was the numbering style was retained
when text written with numbering on was copied and with text with numbering off
it worked well.
4.I opened a new text document in Open Office and wrote some lines with
numbering off and then inserted the table. Then I turned on the numbering and
copied the lines into the table and it worked well as the numbering was started
with the table and copying dint involve text that was written with numbering
on.
5. I opened a new text document in Open Office and inserted a table and wrote
text with ‘Table Heading’ style in one cell. I copied that text into another
cell of the table and the result was that the ‘Table heading’ style was
retained of the pasted text and it was not changed to ‘Table contents’ style
and so it was found to work well now.
This bug is important to user because in a table with large no of entries, when
text with numbering on is copied, it disrupts the numbering of the table and
gets the user into confusion and with the table having critical data, numbering
problems may cause a huge loss.
It is possible to have numbering style of table, if every time when the text is
copied into table, the numbering is made off and cursor is put before the text
copied and again the numbering is made on, which is a very tedious task. So, I
agree with the viraptor’s idea such that it should be copied with “Table
contents’ style or the text pasted should get the style from cell as this will
ease the task and make it user friendly. So the bug needs to be taken care of.
