This afternoon, Open Office (2.0.4, on open suse 10.2) has been driving me absolutely bonkers.

It infuriatingly insists on moving words and numbers to fit it's idea of how the format should be instead of behaving itself and leaving my text alone unless I ask for changes.

For example. I have text like the lines below.

7. This is the first line.
    - point one
    - point two

Next, I want to add point 8, so I type
8. Text of the next line.

Instead of having point 8 start out flush left, it indents it like this

    8. Text of the next line.

How do I turn off this extremely UNHELPFUL "feature"?

I have tried turning off autoformatting by unchecking the "while typing" button, and looked through every option I can find but can't find any way to stop this annoying behaviour.

Any suggestions?

Bob

Try: Tools > Autocorrect > Options then uncheck the box that says "Apply numbering - symbol"
