I do not want word to make a list just because I type in a number at the
start of a sentence. I do not want word to indent my work for me because I
tab each sentence at the start. How do I stop this monster from deciding what
I want it to do I am in charge of the word processor but this software seems
to think that it is and it is driving me crazy.

Try disabling autoformatting. Office button => Word Options => Proofing =>
AutoCorrect Options... => AutoFormat tab.

You can turn off your autoformatting, that should fix the issue.
