This is a feature which can be useful but it can be equally 
frustrating if you don't want it - until you learn to control it.

Easy: just go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Options, and remove 
the tick from "Apply numbering - symbol: *".

will remove the correction and leave exactly what you typed.

I trust this helps.
