This appears to be a bug in Word 2007.

I highlight text and apply formatting to it--in my case, either centering
the specific text or underlining it.

Word immediately applies it to the entire document following the passage
of
text instead of only the text I highlighted.

I click the undo button, and it stops formatting the rest of the document
and only formats what I selected.

However, it only does this with a style and template I created in an
earlier
version of Office; the document is in the newer file version. If I just
start typing in a document with the normal style and duplicate the same
thing, it behaves as if it's supposed to, only changing what I highlight.
It
appears that something may not be converting properly from the versions.
