How to Turn off Automatically Update Style in Word 2007
Hello,
Is there a way to turn off "Automatically Update Style" in Word 2007? When editing a word document, for example, adding a bullet, or changing the font color of highlighted text, Word seems to change it for a portion of a paragraph (that was not selected). There seems to be a step automatically put in play by Word - Automatically Update Style. Undoing this step brings everything back to normal. I have looked up AutoCorrect and AutoFormat options, but can't seem to find a simple fix to this. Changing the Style to Word 2003 is a temporary fix, but I am looking for a more permanent solution. I've tried searching for a fix to this, but unfortunately, I have not been successful. I came across a few posts that involved adding VB code, but this doesn't really seem to help. Further to that, this is hard to implement while dealing with a large number of computers. Your help would really be appreciated. Thank you. |

If it's Normal style, you'll need a little macro; see

How to Turn off Automatically Update Style in Word 2007
Hello,
Thank you for your prompt response. I had previously tried to do what was indicated in the document, but I was not all that successful. Is there an easier way to do this? Some kind of setting under AutoFormat/AutoCorrect? I remember Word 2003 used to have this as an option. Thanks again! |

If what you're asking about is actually the "automatically update" feature,
then you can change it only through Modify Style (or, as noted, with a macro for Normal style, which doesn't have this check box). -- Suzanne S.
