Before you try to use a complicated program like a word processor, you should learn to communicate, it will help to get some help.

To use common word processing formats, the built-in WordPad Windows Utility will do the job in terms of simple .rtf, .docx, .odt and a few forms of .txt files. You might need Windows 7 or later.

Not familiar with TextEdit, but I don't think NotePad will save in a format that
word processors use--.doc, .odt, .xml, and so on.

There is a simple way to turn off all formatting: Use NotePad or TextEdit. I won’t lift a finger to help him until he gets a civil tongue in his head, so to speak. He can RTFM for help.

Yes, I think so too, but I am not sure. There are methods for most things
that can be done, but I never studied it more thoroughly, I only learned
the things I needed…

If you are talking about one created using the built-in macro-recorder, no.
If you are talking about something bundled as an extension, then yes.
If you are talking about something to be pasted into the macro editing
window, then maybe/probably.

One can turn off all of the formating.
IMNSHO, whilst trivial to do, it is also tedious. Whether or not that
qualifies as "simple" is left as an exercise for the user.

Your point is well taken, but the original poster's complaint is valid. There ought to be a *simple* way to turn off all
the formatting crap and let the user think for himself.

Animals and people get angry and lash out at those trying to help them.
As funny as the complaint and the response are,
the list's purpose would be better addressed by answering the ANGRY
user's implied question,
how to use the numbering system!

I think it was hilarious, I want more of that! It's fun when people make

Good. If you’ll never use this software again, that means you won’t be typing email in all caps like a noob, and you won’t be insulting all the volunteer users who populate this forum. As a non-user, we won’t see you any more. I like that. Life is good.
Or, maybe you could go to the Help file or the Wiki and find out how to use numbered lists and how to format them to suit your own tastes. Naaaah. Much more fun to insult other users who have learned how to do that, and who otherwise might be inclined to come to your aid.
