I get very frustrated when word automatically formats my document. I just
spent a half hour trying to get my outline into correct MLA format becuase
Word's auto format isn't the same as MLA. I searched in the Help section
trying to find a way to turn it off. After unchecking all the checked boxes
for auto anything it continued to auto format my document.
