I have what seemingly should be the default, or at least a trivial
task. Creating a document with simple formatting, i.e. one with a some
standard font and point size, left alignment, and no other features that
I do not explicitly invoke.
I have tried the folllowing:
1. Use Ctrl+N to create a new text document
2. On line one type "Title" followed by a two carriage-returns.
3. On line 3 type "1." followed by Tab, followed by "Item 1" and a
carriage-return.
What immediately happens is that line 3 is indented by 0.25 inch
(which appears to be about half the distance to the first tab-stop in
the ruler bar), and "2." automatically appears in line 4,
indented so that it lies directly underneath the "1."
It seems that the program "knows" that I want some outline type of
numbering introduced. The program is WRONG! I want and need to set my
own document style, which does not match this apparently "default" behavior.
Thinking that the default document template simply needed to be changed,
I followed the instructions in Help to create a new template and set it
as the default. This was not successful. Either the unwanted
"Bullets and Numbering" behavior is hidden in my supposedly clean new
template, or the behavior is indemic to the program itself.
Help!
