do 2 things. if you want to live with it, keep it on but after you enter the last thing you want to have numbered, press enter twice. If you want to turn it off, go to the tools menu with alt t and select autocorrect. press control tab until you get to the autoformat tab and press tab if necessary until you get to the list box with autoreplace at the top. press down arrow until you get to the automatic numbered lists option and press space to uncheck it. Hopefully this will work.
