[Solved] Disable automatic numbering when typing

Post by cengel »

I am doing some alpha/numeric typing drills. In this drill, all lines of data entry are to be left justified. I have no problems until a begin a line with a number that includes a decimal point. When a line begins with a number that has a decimal, it automatically indent, starts numbering each line and puts the data in 'columns'. If I type the same numbers without the decimal points, I have no problems with left justification.
example attached.

Thank you, cengel

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Tools > Autocorrect options > Options tab and uncheck Apply numbering - Symbol.

Note that you should avoid .doc format. Stick to native ODF (.odt for text).

Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the *EDIT button if your issue has been fixed.
