Hi, Arthur. Turn off "automatically update" in your style definitions.
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eformatted.htm for more information. Arthur McPhee wrote: why does the whole page go to bold when I select Bold for the title, this also happens if I want to change a font size. I have just installed Office 2003 onto my Laptop, my desktop works fine. |

This would in no way solve the problem, as applying Strong would merely
apply strong to the entire document until the underlying problem (styles updating automatically) is dealt with. -- Suzanne S.

G'day Suzanne,
Incorrect. As strong is a character style it will not affect the paragraph style definition which is what occurring for this user by using direct formatting.

Check in Format-Styles-Modify whether the
option "automatically update" is activated. If you deactivate it your format changes will not include other paragraphs using this style. (This is the way Word 2000 works.) -----Original Message----- G'day "Arthur McPhee" Arthur , Create styles for each instance of differently appearing text and apply those styles to the relevant paragraphs.

We are referring here to direct font formatting, and character styles are
still direct font formatting. But I did try this, and it seems you're right (though I'm not sure why). Still, although the workaround works, it should not be necessary and isn't necessary when the fundamental required correction is applied. -- Suzanne S.

G'day "Suzanne S. Barnhill" ,
Still, although the workaround works, it should not be necessary and isn't necessary when the fundamental required correction is applied. Absolutely, but a small step is much easier to contemplate than a huge leap. That is, getting used to a single character style is a good start on the road towards complete style control :-) The why is easy enough - if the formatting has a style behind it, it has something to 'stick to' other than the base paragraph settings. With no style, the formatting has to be applied to the paragraph. Thus using strong gives the bold something to stick to so it doesn't interfere with the base style of Normal, which then affects all paras of normal.
