I followed the instructions to the letter. It did not work! I closed MSWord & then reopened. It still will not stop changing asterix to a bullet point.
Please send any further suggestions. This is ludicrous! Why won't this stop???

I often type a line of 20 or so asterisks to act as an informal
section divider in my text. As soon as I hit Enter, though, Word 2007
turns it into a line of bullets. How can I prevent that? Thanks.
