You are probably deleting the paragraph mark which contains the formatting
information and sets the current style to default - Normal style. The answer
is not to use manual formatting and use paragraph styles to format your
document.

I've noticed ever since I stared using Word for Windows 3.1,
sometimes Word will switch the font I'm using back to the default
font, most often Times New Roman.

I've never been able to consistently duplicate a keystroke that does
it. Sometimes I'll delete a line by pressing backspace, and the font
will change. Other times it will happen when I press enter. It
doesn't seem to make any sense, and it's been the one thing I've
never liked about Word.

Is it a bug? Or is it just a case of operator head space? In either
case, how can I prevent it?

Thank you very much.
