OO insists that I should have an outline when I don't want one.
I want several paragraphs under item 1, and then several under item
2, and OO will not let me! It insists that if I type a 1, and then
hit return, the next thing I type must be 2!
I've tried many times to turn off the auto-formatting, but, other
than unchecking the check, which does no good, I don't see any way to
stop it.
How how I tell OO that I do not want help with formatting?
Tools > AutoCorrect > Options
Uncheck "Apply numbering - symbol"
Did you check the help? It says:
Apply numbering - symbol
Automatically creates a numbered list when you press Enter at the end
of a line that starts with a number followed by a period, a space,
and text. If a line starts with a hyphen (-), a plus sign (+), or an
asterisk (*), followed by a space, and text, a bulleted list is
created when you press Enter. To cancel automatic numbering when you
press Enter at the end of a line that starts with a numbering symbol,
press Enter again.
The automatic numbering option is only applied to paragraphs that are
formatted with the "Default", "Text body", or "Text body indent"
paragraph style.
Works for me
