How are you applying bold? If using Ctrl+B, have you checked to see whether
this shortcut is assigned to a macro?

using bold - all text is undelined, bold and inserted with page breaks!
I have come accross a similar problem when using Bold- When attempting to
make selected text bold - the entire contents of the document is

underlined
and bold AND a page break is inserted underneath the title! HELP!

Thanks millions - this seems to fix it for the particular document,

but
can't
get it to stay as default for WORD.

When I highlight a apragraph to apply formatting e.g. change to

bold
or
add
bullet points, the formatting is added to entire document. Using

the
undo
button usually then reverts to only the selected section having

the
new
formatting. Problem is that each time this happens it increases

size
of
document enormously e.g. from 2000kb to 36,000kb. I am using WORd
2002
with
track changes visable. HOw to I stop this problem arising???
