[Solved] Indentation increases for each line

Post by bluewombat »

For a long time I've easily created lists of questions for the interviews I conduct as an author by straightforwardly listing the numbered questions, e.g.:

1. What's your name?
2. Where are you from?
3. How do you earn a living?" etc.

Now, for some reason, Open Office is turning my question lists into Harvard-style outlines, indenting the first question a bit and all following questions even further. This is annoying and distracting and not what I've been doing. There must be an easy fix so I can just have, say, 15 questions, all numbered sequentially and flush to the left margin. Does anyone know what it is?

 Edit: Changed subject, was Berserk Indentation

Hi and welcome to the forum!

If you want to switch off the auto recognition of lists, in the menu Tools > AutoCorrect options, Options tab, uncheck Apply Numbering Symbol.

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