When this happens to me I press ctrl-z immediately after I enter press at the end a paragraph. This should undo the autoformatting of the paragraph. It's not an elegant solution, I know, but at least will allow you to keep the paragraphs from being autoformatted.

Frank.

Hi all,

Sorry to bother with this issue, but the lack of user-friendliness in LibreOffice is killing me.

Whenever I try to write up a document with numbering like so

1.1

1.2

1.3


LO insists on autoformating the paragraphs incorrectly. There appears to be no way of turning off this feature in Tools > Options.


More evidence of the "Dark Side' of Open Source

D.


Go to Tools-->Autocorrect Options-->Options, then uncheck 'Apply numbering - symbol'

Regards,
Mark

Autocorrect options is missing. This no more a feature in 3.4.4?

Okay, dark side has been conquered, was looking in Tools >> Options, now feature appears under Tools >> Autocorrect Options. Is there any way of making this persistent so I don't end up in a recursive universe, always going through this problem and having somebody point out that the feature is x y z?

Also usually happens on a deadline

BTW am downloading WP8 and looking for alternative Linux wordprocessors.
