Hi,
I found a section regarding this in the Help files included with
OpenOffice.
It seems to be that you can turn the option on and off in Tools ->
AutoCorrect -> Options
The following is copied from the Help file:
Creating Numbered or Bulleted Lists as You Type
OpenOffice.org can automatically apply numbering or bullets as you type.
To Enable Automatic Numbering and Bulleting
1.Choose Tools - AutoCorrect, click the Options tab, and then select
Apply Numbering - Symbol.
2.Choose Format - AutoFormat, and ensure that While Typing is selected.
The automatic numbering option is only applied to paragraphs that are
formatted with the "Default", "Text body", or "Text body indent"
paragraph style.
To Create a Numbered or Bulleted List While You Type
1.Type 1., i., or I. to start a numbered list. Type * or - to start a
bulleted list. You can also type a right parenthesis after the number
instead of a period , for example, 1) or i).
2.Enter a space, type your text, and then press Enter. The new
paragraph automatically receives the next number or bullet.
3.Press Enter again to finish the list.
You can start a numbered list with any number.

Hope this helps

Please let me know if there is a solution to my problem. I did
inquire about something else and received a very prompt reply.
Thank you.
I am using open office 2.0. When I start an outline, the bullets and
numbering feature turns on automatically. I would prefer to use my
own
format. How do I disable that feature?
