Bullets and Numbering in bl**dy Word
Does anyone understand "Bullets and Numbering"? Why does the "Auto Format" suddenly go haywire as one types a list?

It's one of the bits they got horribly wrong. There probably is a way to fix it, but I never found it. It'll drive you crazy - just turn it off, and do them manually.
Not a word expert by any means but equally fed up with some of its default autoformatting. Go to format, autoformat, options - you then have various tabs to unselect all those auto things like autobulleted lists etc and format like the previous etc.

Yes, you really have to bludgeon Word to get it to do more than the simplest bulleted list!
Just try doing it within tables, or with multiple indents!
I think that the last version of Wind for Wierdos that did what I wanted rather than what it thought I wanted was Word 95.
Progress?

(a) It still runs in Windows XP. I dread the Windoze system that will no longer allow it to.
(b) Word will reasonably accurately convert it so that I can then share my beautiful documents.
