There's a option on the "modify" screen of each style to turn this feature
off. Uncheck "Automatically update" on that screen for each style and Word
will no longer do it.

Hi

Why does word automatically update style?
When I select text and change it to bold the rest of the text in the
document also changes and I have to go to edit = undo "automatically update
style" to change back to what I originally wanted.

How can I turn off this feature?
