In Word 2003, when I highlight text to change the formatting, all of the text
in my document is changed. I can hit Ctrl Z and the rest of the text will
return to the original format but if I forget it is very frustrating when I
am working in a large document.

Hi, Annette. Perhaps this will help.

Thank you SO MUCH!!! I have spent hours trying to find out why this was
happening but never thought of the style automatically updating.
