PPT 2007 - autonumber

[Dale Fye]

I've got a co-worker that is trying to put together a briefing which contains
an itinery. He has a textbox on his slide, and after he entered 0900 (9 AM)
on the left margin, PPT decided that it should change that value to 900 and
turn on autonumbering, and make the next line 901.

We tried turning off the auto line numbering, both with the cursor inside
the textbox, and outside the textbox, but that did not work. I looked in the
PPT Options, but did not see anything that jumped out at me regarding this.

Hi Dale

I can't reproduce this behaviour - could you take us through it step by step
for the hard of thinking please?

One thought is to go to Office Button -> PowerPoint Options -> Proofing ->
Autocorrect Options -> Autoformat as you type -> untick 'Automatic bulleted
& numbered lists'.

Thanks, Lucy.

It was the pointer to the Automatic bulleted and numbered lists that did it.
