How to stop auto bullets?

Post by dasadler »

I am trying to create a document and Word (2007) always converts to bullets. For example... I would like to type:

Revenue
- Expenses
________
Profit

However, when I type - Expenses, Word automatically converts it to a bullet and indents it.

I like to use bullets when I want them but I would like to bulletize on my terms, not Word's.

How can I stop this?

Click the Office button.
Click Word Options.
Click Proofing in the navigation pane on the left hand side.
Click AutoCorrect Options...
Activate the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
Clear the check box "Automatic bulleted lists".
You may also want to clear the check box "Automatic numbered lists".
OK your way out.

Thanks Hans. I looked in the Word Options but didn't see the AutoCorrect options submenu.
