My previous sample was a portion of a numbered list I lost control of. When I cannot control a numbered and indented list, then I resort to indenting with the space key and hitting the enter key at the end of every line. Then something happens which I do not understand and it starts creating a list with a new sequence of numbers indented farther to the right than the first or I have a paragraph numbered and indented to perfection and when I insert a word, the whole paragraph with it's highlighting jumps to the left margin and other problems. Sometimes when I am typing an indented and numbered list it works great, although I do not understand why. It requires numbering, indenting, and highlighting. I am 67 years old and am in the middle of a very long document which will probably be the last I ever write. I have spent hours trying and failing to understand these finer features of OO Writer. Of all the time I have spent using it, at least 15% of my time is spent undoing all the fancy things it automatically does for me which I don't want it to do. OO Writer is smart, much smarter than me. THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS WHEN A PARAGRAPH JUMPS TO THE RIGHTīetween batts and boards, why not use batts Wherever possible?

I have tried F12 on and off, opening or closing the small Bullets and Numbering pop-up, going to Tools/Autocorrect Options/Options/Apply numbering: checked and unchecked. Is there any way to turn off this automatic function so that I can indent a line, give it a number, add highlighting, and have all stay where I first type them, whether I add another indented and numbered line below it or not? When all this happens to an entire paragraph it take me 5 minutes to correct. Also gaps appear in the text, and any highlighting jumps left with the text and stays put after I move the text, each lines few spaces of highlighting must be individually deleted. When this last item happens, I am not allowed to place the cursor at the left end of the line and move it to back to the right with the space bar first I must clik at the end of the previous line. Automatic numbering is driving me crazy by adding numbered and indented lines where I don't want them, preventing me from adding them where I do want them, and shifting to the left margin text that I want indented. The line starts with a one or two digit number followed by a right parenthesis. You're not used to AutoComplete, but that doesn't mean the feature is useless.I type many documents with many lines numbered and indented to the right a few spaces. To each his own, of course, but i wanted to caution you not to jump to conclusions or judgments about features until after you give them a fair shake. If the word only has one or two letters left, I just type them, no point in doing otherwise. AutoComplete saves me thousands of keystrokes per week, and I like the idea of that much less wear-and-tear on my busy hands. But I also watch as I type and it's far easier to hit one key than three or four. I touch-type 100 wpm with good accuracy, 130 if I'm rushing and accuracy goes down. I too found it annoying at first, but I discovered over time how easy it was to hit Enter when the correct word form was found. Just a word about predictive text, or in OOo terms, AutoComplete text. I find this just annoying and cant see how this will help anyone unless they type at snail pace. Sometime when I type, I can see the Writer trying to second guess what word I am typing, putting a word there in highlights.
