Thanks, Brian -- but that Option was already unticked.

You mean when you start a paragraph with something like 1. or 1)? Two answers: o Always think of keeping the facility and dealing it with it piecemeal when it happens. The action of pressing Enter to complete the first paragraph causes an automatic correction which you will notice. The correction is a separate process from the paragraph break that you actually want. So if you go *immediately* to Edit | Undo (or Ctrl+Z), you can remove the correction but retain the part you need. o If you really want to disable this correction process completely, remove the tick from Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Options | Apply numbering - symbol: *.

Re: AOO on a Mac
Shari, I am not exactly a klutz, but I am far from highly proficient, and I have been using OO comfortably with no problems on both Snow Leopard and Lion Macs. I do not have Mavericks. Anyway, I highly recommend both Mac and OO for ordinary people use. ernie On Feb 25, 2014, at 6:54 PM, Shari Lynn Smith wrote: Hi, I am a PC user and have been an OO user for a long time, and have converted most of my family... however my nephew is now looking to purchase a Mac and has gotten conflicting information about running AOO on a Mac (at the store from others), from what I've seen in forums, and online I think it can work on a Mac. I just don't know if it's easy or difficult. I'm wondering if anyone could share whether it is easy to get setup on a Mac by someone who don't use a Mac ;-) Thanks for any information on the subject.

Re: Restored Documents
Rob, I appreciate your thorough answers, from which I often learn much. But on this one, I use OO 4.0.0, and there is no Options choice under Tools. Can you tell me, please, where I might find it?

Re: using tinyurl or is.gd
Thanks, Jeff, you answered my question thoroughly: is.gd URLs are trustworthy so long as the site to which they point is legitimate. I assume the same is true for tinyurls, but with so many being warned about them, it would seem wiser not to use tinyurl (even though I prefer all lower case to is.gd's melange). And from what the link you sent says, it seems wise to avoid .ly domains. What is gd, by the way, Greenland? Thanks again. ernie On Feb 24, 2013, at 3:06 PM, Jeffrey Deutsch wrote: On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 2:31 PM, Ernie Kurtz kurtz...@umich.edu wrote: James and Jeffrey and Andrea, thank you! I do appreciate the warnings. Now a related question: is it possible to corrupt an already tied URL? I am working toward primarily print publication: if I put a tinyurl or is.gd link in print, for the reader to key in, can it somehow be corrupted? Even if there is an electronic version of what I write, can a link given in that format be corrupted? I have been under the impression that malware lurked in URLs posted online. Is that incorrect? ernie kurtz Hello Ernie, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by a URL being corrupted. I can say that at least with is.gd, once the URL is set it can't be changed (including being redirected to a malware or other bad site). So once you shorten a link to a good site, it stays that way (as long as the site itself does). Incidentally, if you're shortening a link yourself, reconsider the wisdom of doing so in bit.ly: http://benmetcalfe.com/blog/2010/10/the-ly-domain-space-to-be-considered-unsafe/ (That URL comes from is.gd.)
