Disable Automatic Lists in Word 2007


Why you need to disable the Word 2007 automatic lists?

In Word 2007, you can use the asterisk (*) character to automatically create a bulleted list. When you type in the asterisk character, Word recognizes that you want to create a bulleted list.

Also, when you type in a number one, Word automatically assumes that you want to create a numbered list. If you do not like this feature, you can turn off automatic bulleted or numbered lists so that you have to create them manually.

To turn off automatic bulleted lists

  • Open Word 2007.
  • From the Office Button, click the Word Options button.

    Word Options - Proofing


  • From the Word Options dialog box displayed, click Proofing.
  • Under the AutoCorrect Options section, click AutoCorrect Options button.

    Word 2007 AutoCorrect option


  • From the AutoCorrect dialog box displayed, select the AutoFormat as You Type tab.
  • Clear the check box beside the Automatic bulleted lists option.
  • Click OK to close the AutoCorrect dialog box.
  • Click OK again to close the Word Options dialog box.

    To turn off automatic numbered lists

  • Open Word 2007.
  • From the Office Button, click the Word Options button.
