If I understand your problem correctly you are wanting to not have automatic numbering be activated when you type a number at the start of a paragraph. Depending on your version of OOo the wording may be slightly different for example "AutoCorrect" maybe "AutoCorrect/AutoFormat". To turn off this "feature": Tools > AutoCorrect... > Options Remove the tick from "Apply numbering -symbol:*" While you have this dialog displayed you may wish to turn off some other automatic features. There are two column of "tick" boxes the first column titled "M" is for when you use: Format > AutoFormat > Apply and the second column titles "T" is for those automatic features in action while you are typing.
