Bernard, you are right, hence splitting up into three separate messages.

Hmm,  even using MRI I cannot identify/see which properties or interfaces would allow me to use a
XTextCursor to step through the paragraphs and learn at which level they are indented, nor how I
could indent/outdent a specific paragraph in an XText of type OutlineShpae in impress.

Usually, I would expect to use a paragraph cursor to step through paragraphs and set the properties
accordingly, but simpress' XTextCursor does not have the other (optional) cursors defined/available.

As Impress is able to do that there must be a way. Maybe I am worn out for too much experiments to
overlook the obvious?
