Autoformatting

You can set Writer to automatically format parts of a document

according to the choices made on the Options page of the AutoCorrect

dialog (Tools > AutoCorrect Options).

Tip

If you notice unexpected formatting changes occurring in your

document, this is the first place to look for the cause.

Some common unwanted or unexpected formatting changes include:

• Horizontal lines. If you type three or more hyphens (---),

underscores (___) or equal signs (===) on a line and then press

Enter, the paragraph is replaced by a horizontal line as wide as

the page. The line is actually the lower border of the preceding

paragraph.

• Bulleted and numbered lists. A bulleted list is created when you

type a hyphen (-), star (*), or plus sign (+), followed by a space or

tab at the beginning of a paragraph. A numbered list is created

when you type a number followed by a period (.), followed by a

space or tab at the beginning of a paragraph. Automatic

numbering is only applied to paragraphs formatted with the

Default, Text body or Text body indent paragraph styles.

To turn autoformatting on or off, choose Format > AutoFormat and

select or deselect the items on the list.

Creating numbered or bulleted lists

There are several ways to create numbered or bulleted lists:

• Use autoformatting, as described above.

• Use list (numbering) styles, as described in Chapters 6

(Introduction to Styles) and 7 (Working with Styles) in the Writer

Guide.

• Use the Numbering and Bullets icons on the paragraph

formatting toolbar (see Figure 74). This method is described here.

To produce a numbered or bulleted list, select the paragraphs in the

list, and then click the appropriate icon on the toolbar.

Note

It is a matter of personal preference whether you type your

information first, then apply Numbering/Bullets, or apply them

as you type.
