[libreoffice-users] automatic formatting, turn off

Hello,

I am trying to copy a contract that I purchased at the stationary store.  On
the left margin, the contract starts with "1. Parties:"  Everything between
the quotes is BOLD and underlined.  Initially, I had no problem with this. 
But then I put a RETURN into the text that followed and suddenly I had a
"2." in the middle of the text, and the text was indented.  The entire
contract,  with 17 numbers and headings, are in the style that I was taught
55 years ago as block.  The number and heading is in the first line of each
paragraph.  And the second line is on the left margin under the number.

I went into LibreOffice Help, Changing the Default Template.  In "To Create
a Default Template," the first line reads, "1.  Create a document and the
content and formatting styles that you want."  I THOUGHT that was what I was
doing!

What I want is an OPEN style, wherein I tell the computer what I want, NOT
have the computer tell me!  I don't want automatic indenting, or numbering,
or bullets, or almost any of those other bells and whistles. 

As usual, I have not ASKED any questions.  Perhaps I should erase these 3
paragraphs and simply ask, "How do I convert my LibreOffice to a typewriter?

Thank you.
