Topic 28: How to Turn Off Word 2007 Automatic Lists?

[seema]

Why you need to disable the Word 2007 automatic lists?

In Word 2007, you can use the asterisk (*) character to automatically create a bulleted list. When you type in the asterisk character, Word recognizes that you want to create a bulleted list.

Also, when you type in a number one, Word automatically assumes that you want to create a numbered list. If you do not like this feature, you can turn off automatic bulleted or numbered lists so that you have to create them manually.
