I am not seeing what you are seeing, even with the option to automatically apply numbered lists activated on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of the AutoCorrect dialog box.
Check if there is some AutoCorrect entry which converts the number sequence in your example to numbering.
Could you share a sample document with the forum? You can click the Go Advanced button at the bottom of the Message/Reply field and add an attachment (in Word format).
