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.

I think when it comes to the AutoCorrect feature when making new bullets a little icon appears when it auto-makes a new bullet for you. It should appear next to the new bullet it made and you can click that and a little scrolls down menu will pop up.

There should be an option to disable that specific auto-correct feature.

Thank you!!!! Fantastic!! It worked!

No problem, glad I could help.
