Can outlining be turned off?

[Guest]

I would like to turn off outlining altogether in Word, so that when I type in
a number and some text and hit return it doesn't indent and auto number
points.

Go to Tools > AutoCorrect Options > AutoFormat As You Type (note that
this is a different tab from just "AutoFormat"). Uncheck the boxes for
"Automatic bulleted lists" and "Automatic numbered lists".

You should probably turn off just about everything in that tab, except
possibly "Internet and network paths". See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm for a
discussion.
