I am keying text into a blank document and sometimes (normally after a
carriage return and then a blank line) the style changes to Heading 1 and
the
preceeding text is altered to have the font attributes etc of Heading 1.
How do I stop this happening?
I always want to to stay in NORMAL style.
Thank you.
