Turn off auto numbering in OneNote for Windows 10

Is it possible to turn off auto-numbering in the new OneNote for Windows 10? I have looked through the settings, there's an option to turn off auto-capitalisation, but nothing for this. Searched everywhere and still found no answers.

It's really annoying, because whenever I type '1. ' it automatically creates a numbered list, and there's no way to stop it. It takes a long time to get around it. It is the same for letters and with brackets, eg 'a) '.

Are there any ways to disable this setting? I like the new OneNote, and don't want to use the older 2016 version as it doesn't have some of the new features.

Solution 1:

Just hit Ctrl+Z to undo the start of the list as soon as it starts it. The icon that pops up also allows you disable auto numbering if you check it's menu.

Alternatively check your options. The advanced options to have a check box for automatic numbering and adding of list bullets.
