How to automatic numbering in Word, with turning off it, changing indent after 10,convert it to text

In Word, after setting the numbered list or the text entered is a number plus a period, when we press Enter to wrap, it will be automatically numbered by default. For example: press Enter after the first item, and the number of the second item will automatically appear; if it is to input the next item, this can reduce the input; if it is the same item, the number is not needed, and the automatic numbering is redundant, so it needs to be prohibited auto numbering.

After prohibiting automatic numbering, you can enable it again when you need it. After the automatic numbering is generated, there may be problems such as discontinuity, too large spaces after numbering, etc. These problems can be solved by setting to continue numbering and adjusting the list indentation. In addition, the number can be converted into text. The text description may be a bit vague, let's look at specific examples below.

I. How to automatic numbering in Word

If there is a list with a set number, it can be seen from the demo that there are five items in the list. When we press Enter on the keyboard after each item, it will be automatically numbered. For example, press Enter on your keyboard after the 4th item, and the original 5th item will change to 6th item, the current item 5 is waiting for input; press Enter on the keyboard at the end, and a number is automatically generated. The demonstration is shown in Figure 1:
