Why the Character O disappers

[TITANI]

Hello,

When I type a sentence that starts with the letter O, then I click on
bullets or numbering, the letter O disappears. This happens in Word 2007 or
2010. What is happening?

Word thinks you are using O as a bullet.

Is there a setting to turn this off?

In the AutoCorrect dialog box, clear the option for "Automatic bulleted lists"
on the AutoFormat As You Type tab. Actually you may want to clear most options
under "Apply as you type."

To display the dialog box, click Office button | Word Options; in the Proofing
category, click the AutoCorrect Options button (Word 2007).

I tried your suggestion yet it did not solve it. Please try it on your end.

Your observation is correct: I hadn't noticed that before. It seems like a bug.
:-(

However, Word should "behave" if you use a bulleted (or numbered) style instead
of applying direct bullet (number) formatting via the Home tab. You can quickly
apply the List Bullet style by pressing Ctrl+Shift+L.

Thank you So Much. What you suggested works.
