Angel;
Do you mean how do one take off automatic formatting? If so, I will copy and
paste the answer to your question. Ann P. posted this a few weeks ago. Here
it is:
Turn on or off automatic bullets or numbering
by default, if you type an asterisk or a number 1., Word recognizes
that you are trying to start a bulleted or numbered list. You can turn
off the automatic list recognition feature.
NOTE If you turn the feature off and create your list manually, you
can't select and change the list all at once. For example, you can't
select the list and change the color of all of the numbers at one time.
1. Click the Microsoft Office Button , (do an alt-f.) and then
click Word Options. (arrow up to Word Options and press enter).
2. Click Proofing. Use your arrow keys to get to proofing.)
3. Click AutoCorrect Options, (press spacebar on that button.)
and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab. (Once in the auto
correct dialog, use ctrl-tab to get to Autoformat As You Type.)
4. Under Apply as you type, select or clear the Automatic bulleted
lists check box or the Automatic numbered lists check box. (Tab along
till you get to the checkboxes for automatic bullets and numbers and
uncheck them with the spacebar.)
Now, if you *want* to make a bulleted list, or a numbered list, you can
do this in two ways.
1. If you want to start the list before typing, use aht-hu for
unnumbered list and alt-hn for numbered list. Once you have entered
the command, the number or bullet will be placed before every line
after you hit the enter key. To stop this behavior, hit enter twice.
You can also select your list, do the commands listed above and voila,
you've got your list.
I hope this helps.
Now for your other question:
What the concensus seems to be is that after the chapter heading (chapter 1,
chapter 2, etc...) we must now put in asteriks (or stars-*) to preserbe line
spacing. So now your edited proof should look like this after your chapter
heading.
blank line
page number (if applicable)
blank line
chapter 1 (16 font and bolded)
blank line
* * * (3 asteriks with spaces in between each one)
blank line
text
blank line
page number (this is only if your page number is NOT at the top of the page)
blank line
page break
Hopefully this doesn't further confuse you. Just take your time and don't
let this stuff overwhelem you. It can be extremely frustrating and
overwhelming for a new proofer, at least it was for me. Eventually, I had to
just start proofing and sent Madeleine any additional questions I had.
*smile* and good luck.
