            Bug ID: 121868
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Auto-correct, Auto-numbering, auto-anything annoying
                    (very)
    Classification: Application
           Product: Writer
           Version: AOO 3.4.1

I love OOo Writer, mostly. BUT, auto-correct and auto-numbering is driving me,
and apparently, many other users, nuts. You can read the user forums to view
all the comments for the past few years on this subject.

It seems that most, if not all, auto features are ON by default. WHY?????
This complaint includes "help" popups such as "picture" & "table", etc.

I have tried all the auto-turn-offs I can find and can usually get most of the
very annoying autos to go away and let me work. However, auto-numbering will
not go away in the latest version, A00341m1 (build 9593) Rev 1372282. I am not
the only one to complain about this specific problem. 

One other person here on Bugzilla has asked for a single toolbar button that
will turn off ALL auto-whatevers, and let us do our work in peace.

Sometimes, having an auto feature is nice, but not really necessary (for me).
Users could turn on what they want and with the BIG RED TURN OFF AUTO button,
just have a nicely behaved word processor that leaves them alone when no autos
are needed.

I know that such a big change as this will require a change in OOo basic design
philosophy. But, I am sure you all are up to the challenge!

Thank you for considering my, and many other's, simple request. We really do
not want to go back to M$ Office. :)
