You can uncheck "while typing" from /Format/AutoFormat. I agree that
"toggle" functions are bad: better to say "on" and "off" or similar or
have separate buttons.
I also uncheck all the AutoCorrection features because my technical
material doesn't conform the the rules and gets mashed.

I really wanted to give your program a chance but it is frustrating me
to no
end.
The auto format tool is difficult at best to understand. There is no
clear
way to turn it off (I understand that somehow under autoformat-while
typing
it turns on or off, but which is on and when is never explained and
neither
seems to make any difference in the document). I had finally thought I
could
live with it when the program started messing with my line spacing,
making
it wider while claiming it was still at single line spacing. I can
find no
function to correct this and I am fed up.
If you really want to create an alternative to MSOffice, learn from them:
install a function where anything autoformatted, when hovered over
with the
mouse, shows an option to reverse the formatting. And install a clear
option
to turn autoformat off (hint: it should say "on" and "off").
Thanks for giving it a good try.
