Thanks for your reply, Cindy.
Yes, I used the macro in Word 03. I had the difficulty in that edition, too.

Hi ?B?TWFs?=,
When I highlight a paragraph to change its style, the
whole document changes to the style I chose for the selected paragraph. Also,
If I change a paragraph€„¢s word-font size or color, the whole document changes
according to the style in the selected paragraph.
Did this document (or its template) originate in Word 2007 or an earlier version?
The Automatically Update property for styles still exists, but the option won't
show up in the "Modify" dialog box unless it was turned on for the style when it
was created. You can still access it through the object model (a macro), however.
You might try running this macro to check the setting. Click in the paragraph,
then run the macro
Sub IsCurrentStyleAutoUpdate()
Dim styl As Word.Style
Set styl = Selection.Style
MsgBox "The style " & styl.NameLocal & _
"'s automatic update setting is " & _
styl.AutomaticallyUpdate
End Sub
