Description: In order to create a bullet point, we need to add a space at the start of the word and then hit carriage return (Enter) This is inefficient Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use whatever button you have calibrated to create a bullet list (a number, the * symbol or a hyphen [minus sign]) 2. add a space then a word 3. hit enter Actual Results: -a bullet point is created, but only when the space is added in front of the word Expected Results: -a bullet point should be created directly after hitting space following the use of the assigned bullet keyword i.e. 1. press '1.' 2. press space bar 3. bullet point should be created Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:
Those automatic formatting are also often messy. What if you want to write "1: Hello World!" without creating a (styled) list? LibreOffice makes it very easy with a) the menu Styles > Bullet/Numbered List, b) the shortcuts F12 or Shift+F12, c) sidebar access. So my take here is WFM.
Please write your use case in Writer and configuration option in Word.

This is built in AutoCorrection edit shell detection of the format notation. The format will not be applied until the paragraph is closed with an <Enter> placing the formatting into bullet mode. The function is controlled from Tools -> AutoCorrect -> AutoCorrect Options dialog: Options tab entry in the Typing checkbox column "Bulleted and numbered lists. Bullet symbol" [1]. With default profiles setting is now off, because the preferred work flow is to apply style to entered paragraphs after entry. With it enabled the numbering/bullets will apply while typing. Specifics for numbering vs. bullets as in the help. But the bullet/font can be changed from the dialog. It works with considerable flexibility as intended => WF =-ref-= [1] https://helponline.libreoffice.org/6.1/en-US/text/swriter/guide/auto_numbering.html
