Hi John,

 

This functionality relates to the AutoCorrect options which are buried in
the Options window and depending on which office application you are using
the AutoCorrect settings are under different categories.  Here is a quick
run-down of how you can disable automatic numbering and bulleting in Word
and Outlook.

 

1.    Alt-F, T to open the Options window

2.    In Word, down arrow to Proofing.  

3.    Press Tab to focus the AutoCorrect options button and press Spacebar
to open the associated dialog

4.    Press Control-Tab until you reach the AutoCorrect as your Type
tab/page

5.    Use Tab to find the Automatic bulleted lists checkbox and uncheck it
with Spacebar

6.    Tab to the Automatic numbered lists checkbox and uncheck it with
Spacebar

7.    Tab to OK and press Spacebar to activate and close the dialog

8.    Tab or Shift-Tab to OK to close the Options Window

 

In Outlook, after completing step 1, down arrow to Mail.  Then Tab until you
reach the Spelling and AutoCorrect button and press Spacebar to activate it.
Then you can follow the steps listed above starting with 3 to complete the
process as it is identical to the steps in Word.  I did not check to see if
changing the settings in one program would make them stick in the other but
maybe you can give it a try and report back to the list.

 

Thanks,

Marc

I'm using Office 2010 and can't find how to get into the options menu to

turn off automatic numbering and bulleting. I've tried negotiating the

ribbons without apparent success.

 

Please help!
