Another OO update and even more stupid, silly auto numbering.  How do I
turn it right off, FOREVER ?

[rant]
I don't know who controls the design of the OO suite, but some of us DO
NOT WANT auto paragraph numbering every time we start a paragraph with a
number, hyphen or bullet point.    Yeah, I'm sure auto numbering is nice
for some people, but if I want a paragraph to be numbered, I'll format
it as such manually OR I'll enable auto numbering for it myself.  I DO
NOT WANT a computer trying to figure out how it should be numbering what
I write.  I want to decide that.  PERIOD.  UNDERSTOOD ?  

I spend way, way more time **UNFORMATTING** the stupid number formatting
that OO writer applies than I would spend adding number to the
paragraphs I wish to have numbered.  Isn't the purpose of software to
make our lives easier ?

What really rips me off is that this auto numbering "stuff" has been
going on for YEARS in a predictable cycle.  Use Writer for bit, find
numbering to be irritating.  Do a web search to try to figure out how to
turn it off.  Turn off some obscure switch hidden 18 layers deep in the
GUI.  Use it for a while.  Upgrade to a newer version.  Watch some new
silly auto numbering scheme appear.  Do a web search for how to turn it
off... it continues. WHEN WILL IT STOP ?

How do I turn off auto numbering in OO Writer so that it NEVER EVER EVER
EVER appears in my work again ?  Please, someone stop the lunacy !

Thanks for listening...
