I already undid autoformat
I'd like to kill the auto tab and auto numbering stuff. And anything else
it does without my permission.
 
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm. Note that *all*
the "auto stuff" would include AutoCorrect and AutoText, both of which are
very useful, but these also can be disabled on various tabs of the Tools |
AutoCorrect Options dialog.

I took the "all" part seriously. ;-)

Thanks to all who replied.

I did in fact mean "all". I have no need for word processing...a simple
electronic typewriter will do. I spend more time figuring out how to
"uncorrect" the automatics than actual writing. I found more auto
corrections to turn off. And I turned off each box regardless of merit. But
I've also had trouble with it changing tab settings on me...again, trying to
help.

I wish there were a dumb-down button. I don't know anything about Note Pad
or Word Pad. But if practical, I'd rather stay in Word itself as I
occasional require it to read incoming.
