Provide option to prevent autoformatting for para numbering, etc.
Word 2003 does too much autoformatting, I spend most of my time undoing what
it has done. PLEASE go back to the basics and only give us what we ask for. Being an experienced Word user and a fast typist means nothing in Word now. Word will not let me apply a style I want. Instead it modifies the style that is most similar to what is there. The styles feature is totally out of control. It goes through my document and updates things without warning. Don't create a style for each piece of text that does not match another style. You need to test these features on real, complex documents. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

The option you ask for is already in Word. Go to Tools AutoCorrect
Options AutoFormat As You Type and uncheck "Define styles based on your format". You should probably also uncheck most of the other options there.
