Hi,
Once I hit the enter at the end of one paragraph(shown in Figure 1), auto-indentation occurs, beginning of the new line will align with the first line of former paragraph (shown in Figure 2), why does this happen? How to solve this problem(I hope the new line will align with left)?
By the way, it needs to hit Backspace twice at the first line of second paragraph, the state of Figure 2 will restore to Figure 1.


The process is shown in GIF Figure.
Regards

I am not seeing what you are seeing, even with the option to automatically apply numbered lists activated on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of the AutoCorrect dialog box.

Check if there is some AutoCorrect entry which converts the number sequence in your example to numbering.

Could you share a sample document with the forum? You can click the Go Advanced button at the bottom of the Message/Reply field and add an attachment (in Word format).

Thx for your reply, it can be solved by clearing "Spaces at the beginning of paragraph with first-line indent" in AutoCorrect. :-)

Thanks for the follow-up. I guess you are referring to the option shown in the screen shot below. I had to install (partial) support for East Asian languages (Chinese, specifically) for that option to show up on my system.
