I am not exactly certain of the question...

Why not create the entire content in any paragraph style, say Default, and manually override the entire document--and apply your own formatting via the Format submenu options or the toolbars, for example?

The auto formatting is driving me crazy. I would prefer to just turn it all off (ie, just be able to make my own paragraphs, numbering systems etc..)

Is there an easy way to just turn all the auto formatting off? I've looked at the documentation but it doesn't jump out at me. It talks alot about creating templates, but I don't want to mess with that.

Having something at the beginning of the documentation in bold that would say "do this to turn everything off" would be a big help to those just starting to use Writer.


Thank you.
