I'd like to suggest adding an entry to the "Number Formatting..." dialog's list
that says something to the effect of "[None]".

 Selecting this option would stop it from rounding or anything.
 (For simple people that just want to type "2.009" and finish a math assignment.
^^) It may also be nice if the system detected that a person had repeatedly
tried to enter the same piece of data in the same place hoping to get different
results, and it just stopped formatting that piece of data until the user comes
back. Undo did not work, so I, the stupid guy, was lost.

 This can be very aggravating for new users, and an easy to find method to "fix"
it would be great. It would only take a little bit of exploration to find that
the "Number Formatting..." menu probably gives an option, selecting [none] would
be much more intuitive than creating a "User-defined" format, stylesheet, or
whatever is supposed to be done now (I couldn't find anything other than those
(Googling or tinkering) for about 20 minutes before I got on the IRC and started
asking). 

Thank you for an incredible piece of software!
