** Note: Word is rather annoying with auto formatting sometimes. You can do a few things.

1. Go to the format menu, choose auto format, and then click the options button and look at the various tabs in that section and turn off certain auto things like automatically numbered lists.

2. Type just text for your outline and then go back and add your roman numerals and letters, etc. The auto format features usually happen after you have hit the "enter" key on the keyboard, so by going back over the outline and adding the roman numerals later, you avoid hitting the enter key.

3. Try to work with Word's auto outlining system. Just be consistent with whatever format you choose to use.
