Hi all,
How can I turn off all forms of numbering and bullets? I really really really hate it when I try to make a numbered list and the !"§$ program takes over my numbering.

You can twiddle other autocorrect options in this same settings window.
Also take a look at: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writ er_Guide/Autoformat
Usually.. when users are fighting this feature it's because they are not using Writer as it is intended... with styles. In my experience it usually ends up being an annoyance when the user is hard formatting pages instead of applying/using styles. Of course there are always cases where this isn't what's happening, and you can switch the option off. Works both ways :-)

Thanks, I found it. When I write short 1 to 3 page documents I don't want "so much" help. :) On the other hand, when I'm writing 50 or more pages, then it worth my time to set up the styles.
