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. >I would really like to be able to permanently and irrevocably >disable the >bullets & Numbers ...

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.
