Okay, I have searched thru all 134 options that come up when I enter “turn off styles” and none of them answer my question. Oh Lord, let me be me and turn that OFF. I do NOT want to have to choose a style every time I want to change something about my text. I want to be able to indent a section of a writing by simply highlighing it and moving my ruler settings. I want to be able to highlight something and have JUST IT be centered. But time and again LO thinks it knows best. I’ve done the Control+M and yet, the minute I reformat something, it reformats the ENTIRE document to match it. I’m sick of it, thoroughly sick of it. I hated MS Office for it. I don’t want to learn it nor use it. I want to think the way I think, not the way the program says I should. If I wanted that, I’d get a Mac.
I’m sorry, but I am just sick and tired of it. It is very slow and inefficient for me. I want to scream every time it changes things for me. I’ve tried to delete every style, but the built in ones won’t let me delete them.
I don’t want them. I don’t want them. I don’t want them. I just want to type and format as I go. I don’t want to have to go thru all kinds of hoops and styles just to change the formatting on one line. I don’t care that you can change the way the whole thing looks by just changing the style. In all my decades on this earth, I have never once had to change the entire document style to make that option worth anything to me.
I’m sorry I’m rambling. I am just mad as hell that this program, too, seems to force it on me. It breaks my train of thought ever time I have to stop and deal with this.
Please tell me there is a way to permanently turn it OFF. Please let me be my own dinosaur and live in the stone age.
