I want a default numbering when I open a document. I do not even want to
switch the numbering on. It must be their. How do I set this up?

You can define your styles however you like, including with numbering.

Jezebel, I think what she needs is to setup a document the way she wants it
to look by default, and save it as a template, so when you start a new doc,
you start with that saved template, and you will start with the numbering
ready to go.
When you start a new document, if you do not specify, you will end up with
the normal.dot, which is a blank template and should be left that way.
So structure a doc the way you basically want it, like if you want an
outline with an intro paragraph, then a blank ten item list, just create
that, and then save it as a .dot file but name it what you want to so you can
find it later in the list.

If you are referring to paragraph numbering, create it properly linked
to styles as explained at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html, and
then save as a document template (*.dot). Whenever you need to reuse
the numbering scheme, create a document based on that template, and
apply the styles.

If you are referring to page numbering, add it in a document (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/PageNumbering.htm and
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm), and then
create a template as suggested above.

For more information about templates and styles, see:

I hope the OP can understand your response. Buggered if I can. I hope you
don't teach your students to write like that!
