bullets see

subject is related.)
Under Tools Templates and Add-Ins, if the box is checked to update styles,
uncheck it.
Most experienced users turn off many of the autoformat as you type options.
I have all the ones under "Apply as you type" and "Automatically as you
type" unchecked.

After manually formatting a bunch of bullet, numbered, and lettered
lists, I
save the file. However, when I hit save, I lose most of my formatting.
Also, when I reopen the file at a later point, the formatting is gone.
I've
tried over and over again, with the same problem.
What is causing this? Should I turn off all the autoformatting options?
If
so, will this cause any autoformatting already done to disappear? I would
assume no.
