Description Dennis Rice 2023-09-12 22:37:08 UTC
I do not think that it is a bug, but please help me in correcting what I am doing wrong.
I have created a file with an ordered list and use the soft return and tabs to enter more detailed information on the topic.  After saving the file and closing, then opening the next time to enter more information, the numbered list number turns blue and is in brackets.

When I attempt to do a copy paste for the data, it does not format in this screen properly.  Basically it looks like:
Original as I enter: (tabs do not format, so using spaces, [sr]=soft return, [t]=tab)
1.[t] Intro, Garlic
2.[t] Staking Tomatoes[sr]
[t][t]    Determinate (Bush Type)[sr]
[t][t]    Indeterminate (Vine Type)
3.[t] Green Onion Seeds
4.[t] Harvesting Lettuce
  and so on

On opening the file I get:
1.[t] Intro, Garlic
[2.] Staking Tomatoes[sr]
[t][t]    Determinate (Bush Type)[sr]
[t][t]    Indeterminate (Vine Type0
2.[3.]  Green Onion Seeds
3.[4.]  Harvesting Lettuce
  and so on
Except for the first 1., the numbering beyond that is blue

Every time I open the file, I can correct the problem by going to the end of the line that has the carriage return (I have the paragraph indicator turned on) by hitting the delete key to bring the next line up (deleting the CR) and then hitting the return.  I need to go through the full file, now 28 pages long.
(Yea, I'm trying to learn gardening and taking notes from some YouTube file.)

As noted, I don't think this is a bug but I don't know what to do to correct the issue.  I have made two changes for the typing under Tools/AutoCorrect/Options/
   -Delete spaces and tabs at beginning and end ...
   -Delete spaces and tabs at end and start ...
by clearing the check for both the [M] and [T} column (but don't really know what they mean).
I did this from a search which recommended the change after I had another problem.  The problem was corrected but now have this new one when opening the file.

I very much appreciate your time in providing me guidance.  The options are many and sure wish I understood them.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
