Hi Rory,
it's my experience that it's better to provide direct help to a person
who isn't used to a specific software. I taught using software to
several people, including my mother who had never used a computer until
she was 69. Today, at 81, she's fit at it. And as I understood his
request, he wanted help to disable AutoText and not to be directed to
someplace in the help menue. :) But I guess there's more than one way to
help.
By the way, arent' too many of these auto things enabled by default?
They're bound to confuse beginners.

Actually it's Format - AutoCorrect - AutoCorrect Options. Remove the
checks from the little boxes next to Autonumbering and others which may
have bothered you. It' not got anything to do with the help menu.

I work with math students at elementary level -- grades 3 to pre-calculus, and
often NEED to write up a custom work sheet.
HOW DO I KILL AUTO NUMBERING???? and auto formatting? I am not doing 500
pages that need help with some esoteric insert or search. I just want numbers
and paragraphs to stay WERE I PUT THEM and not mover to some spot where the
notation does NOT belong!!!
Would you believe that I can't see how to do this amongst all your info? How
long would it take me to wade through volumes of stuff I do not want or need to
get to this????
You yunguns drive us old folks to the DT's!! [Do you remember what that is?]
In OpenOffice use /Help /OpenOffice Help, Index tab, Numbering.
He claimed he couldn't find any help on the subject - I directed him to it,
My practice is always to direct a querist to the source of relevant
information, so that he can learn and sort the problem out for himself. He is,
after all, a teacher, and should appreciate being directed to information.
