Hello to those at open office or those in discussion of open office. I'm a 
student and i love using open office, i love what it represents, i love how it 
works and compaires to word, but i want to address something i think is long 
overdue in addressing; And i'm taking a break from my finals study to address 
it because it is so annoying it makes open office go from a godsend to a 
nuisance. 

When you are working on a document, nothing, i repeat, nothing, is more 
annoying then when it tries, in all friendly intention, to edit the document 
for you. The most important of these auto-editings to address here is simply 
when you are numbering something, and it FORCES a space, about tab size, before 
each of your numbered lines. In word, i believe there is a little helper that 
pops up at the bottom of the screen, that when scrolled over gives you the 
option to disable this nuisance from hell. In contrast, open office forces you 
to investigate the matter like a technician, and has the most disgusting, 
albeit detailed, options window, that anyone simply wanting to disable the 
autonumbering option will cringe at seeing. 

CAN it be made, that an update could allow for simple, nearly AUTO disabling of 
this auto-nuisance? I'm crossing my fingers and going back to studying. On 
another note, thank you for reading and thank you for an amazing program!

Chris
