Please tell me how to turn off automatic formatting in Word If I do it before starting to proof a file then I should have no problems, right? I've gone to the automatic formatting and un-clicked everything I didn't want, and e found the place in headings to turn it off. If I can turn it off totally before starting to proof can I format things the way I want?
