Default Stop updating styles automatically

If TNR is the default font, this is pretty much what I would expect. You can
change the default font for a document or template; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm for
instructions on changing the default font for all new documents; to change
it for a single document, change the font of Normal style (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...fyAStyle.html).

That looks like it - thanks

this wouldn't happen to be connected to another little bug in Word would

it?

sometimes when delteing a paragraph it formats the previous one to Times

New
Roman 12 (normal style?) - even though there no single character in the
whole doc using this style

| i have some custom styles - work fine for the most part - i often

apply

| formatting to the occassion word without issue - but if i format whole
| line
| as say Bold - Word updates the whole style so that everything else in
the
| same style is made bold - several times this has happened without my
| noticing & have ended up reformatting a whooooooole document again
