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: *".

No doubt some people like it.

Incidentally, another easy workaround is just to use Edit | Undo (or Ctrl+Z) *immediately* you see 
the unwanted correction occur.  This will remove the correction and leave exactly what you typed.

I trust this helps.
