It can be quite annoying when Microsoft Word butts into your business and assumes you’d like to create a numbered list in your document … when in fact you have no such desire. In fact, Word assumes that you’re creating a numbered list every single time you place a number in front of a new line.

Let’s take a moment right now and tell Word to stop making these annoying assumptions. Just follow these steps:

1. Go to Tools > AutoCorrect Options.
2. Click on the AutoFormat as You Type tab.
3. Uncheck the box that reads Automatic Numbered Lists.
4. Click Ok.

In the future, you can tell Word when you’d like it to make a numbered list for you by clicking the numbering icon in your toolbar (the icon with “1 2 3″ listed vertically, on the left of three horizontal lines).
