Need to know how to disable this function. I work with Word daily and number
by hand my items such as:
1. John Smith
1234 Main St
Anywhere USA 10000
2. and so on but when I get to the 2nd and 3rd lines, the undo automatic
number shows up and I have to right click and cancel, but it keeps coming
back!
I am indenting the lines and do not use the tab to do this, I do it by hand
so that might be causing the problem. Can't seem to figure out how to use
the tabs either.
Thanks in advance..

On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options. Click the AutoFormat as
you type tab. Clear the "Automatic bulleted lists" and "Automatic
numbered lists" options, and click OK. In fact, you may want to clear
most of the options in the dialog box; see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm.

If you want manual numbering then Tools autocorrect options autoformat
as you type - uncheck automatic numbered lists (and probably most of the
rest of the stuff on that page too).
