Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer: how to turn off auto-generated lists?

Hi Tom,
        
A lot of people seem to open an old document and then use that to
create new documents
[sometimes that's the easiest way in windows]
 but that way tons of hidden formatting codes and
stuff seem to lurk and sometimes do some really odd things. 
[I'd have thought that selecting all with Ctrl-A and hitting del or backspace should remove 
everything? perhaps not?]

 Copy&Pasting as unformatted text into a fresh new
document got rid of all sorts of weird problems.
[I'll try that, it may well work]

Writer doesn't seem to generate lists in the way described, at least
not for me.  Calc does, of course, but i usually have to select 3-4
cells and then drag.  So i am not sure what is going on.

[I've tried it here in the office with a new document, and it doesn't seem to do it here, either; 
so your explanation may well be right. I'm not sure if the version here and the version at home are 
the same, I'll check.The style in my home doc was default, and there was nothing I could find that 
indicated that it might be in the middle of a list. Perhaps there is a way of making formatting 
codes visible in a document? And deleting unwanted ones? If not, perhaps it might be a good idea if 
one were to be introduced?]

best,/Gary
