How do you turn off auto format of numbers and bullets

[Mary Z]

I just loaded Office 2007. It took me a long time to figure out the following
on Word 2003:
Every time I select a bullet or number list it applies it to every paragraph
in the document. You can turn this off on Word 2003 under Tools>Auto Correct
Options>Auto format as you type.
I want to turn off this frickin feature in Word 2007 and after following the
instructions in help (once you figure out how to get the autoformat button on
your ribbon) it does not turn off applying bullets or numbers to every
paragraph in the document. I turned off every check box on the AutoFormat as
You Type tab and three check boxes related to lists and bullets on the Auto
Format tab. Nothing appears to turn off this feature. Help, anyone!!

I have no idea how it translates to Word 2007, but see here:
