Hi!
I am not sure what you mean by "opposite of helpful"
Turning it off is described in the first link.
Format -> AutoFormat -> while typing
If all the options are ticked off the AutoFormat is deactivated.
However, if you want to modify the behavior better ask on the
development list for pointers .
All the best

hello everyone
I am writing for help because I need to disable or alter the autoformat
behavior in Open office.
I JUST downloaded so I have the recent version I can only access
autocorrect, autoformat no appear in the dropdown menu. The software menu I
have does not match the documentation on the site:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Autoformatting
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Category:Documentation/FAQ/Writer/AutomaticFunctions
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Writer/AutomaticFunctions/How_do_I_turn_off_automatic_correction_and_formatting%3F
I need to alter or turn off auto formatting because the behaviors you have
chosen are the opposite of helpful,
I did find a way to turn off "autocorrect as I type" which I HOPE will turn
off autoformatting as well but it is a blunt instrument way of dealing with
this IF it even works.
I would like to keep spell correct but not use "autocomplete a word," I am
finding your expectations of what I might want to say to be disturbing and
stupid.
I would ike to alter the autoformatting behavior to be more useful but in
the absence of that I do need to turn it off because I can barely type a
list, the behavior is too chaotic.
Thank you for your help.
