So, I might want to type up a list of steps to do something. I type 1. then a paragraph title and I hit Enter to go to the next line to start typing the information in question but instead I get the number 2. pop up automatically. The only way to get rid of it is to hit enter again without typing anything and the cursor then goes to the next line. Also the first line with 1. is indented and I can't get rid of the indent without removing the 1.
This might suit me sometimes but otherwise I find this annoying and want to disable it.
In OpenOffice:
Click on Tools in the top menu. Then AutoCorrect Options.
In the box that opens click on the Options tab if not already selected and in the list of options find the line that reads: “Apply numbering – symbol:”
Uncheck the box in the T column and check OK.
Now when I type 1. and something else, it's not indented and when I press enter, it just goes to the next line, no 2. doesn't appear unless I put it there myself.
LibreOffice
This is automatically disabled in LibreOffice but just in case its not or you want to turn it on:
Go to Tools then AutoCorrect then AutoCorrect Options.
Click on the Options tab if not already selected.
Look for the line “Bulleted and numbered lists. Bullet symbol:”
uncheck it if it's checked. Click OK.
