Yup: so easy that there are two answers!

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.
Thanks, Brian, I'll try to remember to try that and see if it helps.

If you really want to disable this correction
process completely, remove the tick from Tools |
AutoCorrect Options... | Options | Apply numbering - symbol: *.
I'm pretty sure I unchecked that, and it didn't make any difference. I'd better
double check, though. As I indicated in a response to another reply, it doesn't
seem to work like that here in the office, in a new document. It seems that in
my document at home, LO seems to think that it is in the middle of a list and
responds accordingly. I really don't know. I'm going to install the latest
version soon, though, and will see if that helps...
I trust this helps.
I hope it does! We'll have to see ;-)

Thanks,/Gary
