This is a very basic query....

I very seldom use Word, but when I do, it is usually to make lists, and the result is usually that I want to pull my hair out with frustration.

Is there anything I can do to switch off all the stuff that Word tries automatically to do for me, like:

* Tabbing the number in from the margin.

* Putting the next number in when I move onto a new line.

* Starting each first word with a capital letter.

All of the above just serve to make my task impossibly difficult.

Help would be much appreciated.
