Stop updating styles automatically
i have some custom styles - work fine for the most part - i often apply xtra
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 (manually) grrrrrrrrrrr i notice this happens on some documents but not others - as if some "auto updating of style" is active |

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 "Suzanne S.

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). -- Suzanne S.
