Here, I didn't have to have a document open. Well, I did have a blank
page there... The settings were applied to the program defaults. I
closed down OpenOffice.org and re-opened it, and it carried on working
as how I'd last set it (not making numbered lists out of numbered items
that I'd typed on the page).
Yes, it is a bit peculiar as to what's per-document, or not. Yes, it's
not brilliantly named, as it's not necessarily a "correction." Other
programs might have called that "auto replace."
