I DON'T want automatic bulleting or paragraph numbering And A Few
Other Things either. But After The Answers I Got On Bullets And
Numbering, I Never Ask About Anything Else. I'll Be Watching To See
If You Get Better Answers Than I Did
That's odd, since I explained this on 10 November. What's more, you
were kind enough to write back and thank me, saying that my
suggestions "Worked Great And Fixed The Problem".
For the benefit of others, there are two parts to the answer:
o First, the easy way. When you type something that stimulates this
automatic "correction", the typing and the correction are treated as
separate actions. This means that you can easily cancel the
correction using Edit | Undo (or Ctrl+Z), leaving the original typing
that you intended. Since the automatic facility is often helpful -
ensuring, for example, that your numbers are properly sequential -
this may well be the way to go.
o But if you do want to disable the facility, just remove the ticks
from appropriate options at Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Options
- in particular, from "Apply numbering - symbol: *".
