Update Re: Question about OpenOffice and auto numbering
Hello everyone. Thanks for the help. It's now sorted. But lol! My Nvda screen reader reads that table very strange indeed! For example, it will say just "check box checked" or "heck box not checked", meaning I cannot easily tell what the check box applies to! So it took some figuring out which one was which! Anyway sorted now and thanks again for the help.

Question about OpenOffice and auto numbering
Hello everyone. Not sure if you can help on this one but when I write a document with lines starting with 1, 2, 3, OpenOffice wants to help by filling them in for me. But I do not want that; I wish to be in complete control of that. Please can you tell me, where do I go to turn this seemingly helpful feature off? Any responses greatly appreciated.
