How do i switch off this 'feature'???

When my students are writing CV's - they create dates e.g.

2004-2005

Word then goes and treats this like bulleted list which is a total p.i.t.a.
to get rid of

Disable automatic bulleted lists on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of
AutoCorrect Options.

for you?

I see Jethro's reply and good old Ctrl + Z might not work in their
situation, but I use it all the time. I don't want to permanently disable
some of the auto correct features, but it is nice to override them instantly
when necessary. Also, I have noticed that, during a long work session, if I
keep Ctrl + Z'ing something, it will sometimes stop doing it during that
session. Cheers ... vanilla

ctrl-z performs a permanent 'toggle' for me. Once turned off, does not
come on again until ??, or more simply close and reopen.
