OpenOffice.org 2 begins to reek of MS Office

It seems the new OpenOffice.org 2 has autoindentation features just like MS Office has. I start typing '1. Stuff' and push enter, and bam: I've got a numbered list in OpenOffice.org Writer. It made me weep bricks! My beloved OpenOffice.org is doing stuff I'm not telling it to do. I mean, I don't have any major disabilities, so I'm quite capable to press the 'Numbering On/Off' button whenever I want that. Why it is that modern office suites have default settings adequite for the severely disabled?
