Default keyboard shortcuts applying to whole doc, not selected text

Why is it that when I select a part of my word doc and use a shortcut key
(like CTRL + B to make the selected text bold), it applies to the WHOLE
DOCUMENT instead of the SELECTED TEXT? Please help, it's driving me
crazy!!!!!!

Turn off "automatically update" in the style definitions as described in
